The problem is here:
https://github.com/lony/dotFiles/blob/f5f1691499e7a95a3a2e4f1e0970f0ae46f4b40e/ansible/roles/dotfiles/src/bash_zsh/.zsh_oh-my-zsh/themes/lony.zsh-theme#L69
.

This code tries to avoid calling `vcs_info` unless the last command in the
history was a `git` command. This is liable to break in corner cases. E.g.,
if you change the state of a git repo in one shell, it won't be updated in
another.
