*Poke* at this again. Ben, or anyone else with knowledge of fsmonitor:
Can you reproduce this?

This failure along with the one I noted in
https://public-inbox.org/git/87tvn2remn.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ is
failing the tests on Linux when run with GIT_FSMONITOR_TEST.

I'm looking at this again because SZEDER's patches to the split index
reminded me again that we have these long-standing failures in rare test
modes (see
https://public-inbox.org/git/87va7ireuu.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ for the
split index discussion).
