As Kostas suggested (thanks!), setting GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=3D/afs will
stop git from trying to access /afs/.git. That clearly seems like a good
idea.

But then I'd need to find similar solutions for Mercurial (looking for
/afs/.hg), Bazaar (/afs/.bzr) and Subversion (/afs/.svn). I'm using one
of those fancy shell prompts that tries to display VCS information
whenever I'm inside a working copy.
