It felt like the prompt line was getting really long (between a somewhat long directory, plus the inline status). So I modified my posh-git profile to put a linebreak after the path and git status. See screenshot here: http://pic.twitter.com/GSmZcWBtYQ

# If module is installed in a default location ($env:PSModulePath),
# use this instead (see about_Modules for more information):

# Set up a simple prompt, adding the git prompt parts inside git repos
function prompt {
    $realLASTEXITCODE = $LASTEXITCODE

    # Reset color, which can be messed up by Enable-GitColors
    $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $GitPromptSettings.DefaultForegroundColor

    # ADDED - extra line so commands don't run together. Whitespace is nice.
    Write-Host("")

    $global:LASTEXITCODE = $realLASTEXITCODE
