If you're doing the trendy thing of putting repository information in your shell prompt, then your prompt is looking for a repository every time you change a directory.

As for making this a command-line option: that's certainly doable, but it makes it harder to enforce the option's use across an organization. It's far easier for me to set an environment variable centrally on a thousand workstations than to convince a potentially large number of users to set a new shell alias for git.
