I putted git status in zsh prompt, but sometimes slowly like git-svn ruby repo.
So I found the page notify to Growl, but It needed a drb daemon for notify it.

Ruby supports fork, I used fork for background working, but fork wake up slowly (slower than prompt putting!)
But we can use spawn for instead.
Spawn
fork: Clone this process
fork { .. }: Clone this process and run block
spawn: Make another process and run in background
zshrc
requirements
- ruby1.9+
- notify.gem
- git.gem
- libnotify with libnotify-bin or growl
script
Demerits
- Ruby doesn't know myself; spawned ruby is same as ruby?
- Doesn't know version; it is really 1.9+?
- Error will be not hidden; it puts error directly if failed
