Yeah, there are a couple hardcoded paths in there, e.g.:

  open ($fh, ">", ".git/watchman-response.json");

and, worse, not only in the test helper hook in
't/t7519/fsmonitor-watchman' but in the sample hook template
'templates/hooks--fsmonitor-watchman.sample' as well.

  git rev-parse --git-path ''

gives us the right directory prefix to use and we could then append
the various filenames that must be accessed in there.
