This is not so much an issue, more a question. I read through the code and it seemed all calls were synchronous. Doesn't Atom need asynchronous calls of Git to stay responsive? Or is there some other way Atom stays responsive?

Atom spawns a child process for longer Git calls, such as status.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks!
