> To use the script:
> 
> Download and install Watchman from https://facebook.github.io/watchman/
> and instruct Watchman to watch your working directory for changes
> ('watchman watch-project /usr/src/git').
> 
> Rename the sample integration hook from query-fsmonitor.sample to query-
> fsmonitor.
> 
> Configure git to use the extension ('git config core.fsmonitor true') and
> optionally turn on the untracked cache for optimal performance ('git config
> core.untrackedcache true').
