'git update-index --split-index' splits the index no matter what; it even splits an empty index.

I could reproduce the failure with '-r 30 --stress' relatively easily [1], but with those options I could shave off a lot from this test:
test_create_repo fsmonitor-stage-split &&
(
cd fsmonitor-stage-split &&
>tracked &&
git add tracked &&
git config core.fsmonitor
"$TEST_DIRECTORY/t7519/fsmonitor-watchman" &&
>untracked &&
git update-index --split-index --untracked-cache --fsmonitor
)and could still trigger the failure:
+ git update-index --split-index --untracked-cache --fsmonitor
open2: exec of watchman -j failed at /home/szeder/src/git/t/t7519/fsmonitor-watchman line 47.

[1] There is a quite expensive lazy prereq evaluation outside of
'test_expect_*' that I disabled it with the following for
