This is not possible.

The detections are run sequentially and not in parallel. And with git
for example, you just ask whether you're in a git-working-directory and
git tells you - you don't traverse the directory tree yourself. So there
is no simple way to do this.

I'm also really not a big fan of ~ in git. Because, you probably don't
track everything and use a lot of ignores. And then "git clean -xdf" is
the new "rm -Rf /"...
