TLDR: the current version isn't correct.
One of the things I did was hack up the test script to enable running
all the tests with fsmonitor enabled. I found a number of bugs in
Watchman on Windows and have been working with Wez to get them fixed.
Just last week Watchman got to the point where I could run the complete
git test suite. As a result, I found that fsmonitor is overly
aggressive in marking things with ce_mark_uptodate. Submodules are
currently broken as are commands that pass "--ignore-missing."
I started reworking the logic to fix these bugs and realized I was
duplicating the set of tests that already exist in preload_thread. I'm
currently working on integrating the logic into preload_thread so that
both options can be used in combination and so I can avoid doing the
(nearly identical) loop twice.
