On large svn repo prompt with svn status enabled can be slow

[Mikaz-fr]

Similarly to #2548 and #1566, on large svn repo fetching the status delay slightly the command prompt display.

I recently updated to Cmder 1.3.19 and was thrilled to see that git status can now be fetched asynchronously using recent clink feature (integrated via #2556). Is there any plan to provide the same for svn ?

It's good now we can disable in the option the svn status, but having it asynchronously would be even better.

There wasn't any plan to do so, because no one had identified it as being a problem that needed solving. 🙃

It's not hard to do. Someone could make the Lua script tweaks and submit a PR.

(I'll see about extending clink-flex-prompt accordingly. Someone could port from there to Cmder. Or if I find myself with extra time, then maybe at some point I can also provide a patch for Cmder, but that's not a priority for me.)

I've made an attempt to solve this for svn similarly to how it's done for git. I've open pull request #2703. Please let me know if you would have done that differently.

The changes look good to me!

Awesome. Feel free to close once PR is merged. Will get the next release with this feature :)
