Teach the fsmonitor--daemon to CD outside of the worktree
before starting up.
The common Git startup mechanism causes the CWD of the daemon process
to be in the root of the worktree. On Windows, this causes the daemon
process to hold a locked handle on the CWD and prevents other
processes from moving or deleting the worktree while the daemon is
running.
CD to HOME before entering main event loops.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to print a startup message only when
`fsmonitor.announceStartup` is true. This setting is false by default
so that the output of client commands, like `git status`, is not
changed if the daemon is implicitly started.
The message is conditionally printed by "run" and "start" subcommands
and is sent to stderr. It contains the path to the work tree root.

Ignore FSEvents resulting from `xattr` changes. Git does not care about
xattr's or changes to xattr's, so don't waste time collecting these
events in the daemon nor transmitting them to clients.
Various security tools add xattrs to files and/or directories, such as
to mark them as having been downloaded. We should ignore these events
since it doesn't affect the content of the file/directory or the normal
meta-data that Git cares about.

Extend generic incompatibility checkout with platform-specific

In the existing fsmonitor-settings code we have a way to mark

Confirm that MacOS FS events are reported with a normalized spelling.
APFS (and/or HFS+) is case-insensitive. This means that case-independent
lookups ( [ -d .git ] and [ -d .GIT ] ) should both succeed. But that
doesn't tell us how FS events are reported if we try "rm -rf .git" versus
"rm -rf .GIT". Are the events reported using the on-disk spelling of the
pathname or in the spelling used by the command.
NEEDSWORK: I was only able to test case. It would be nice to add tests
that use different Unicode spellings/normalizations and understand the
differences between APFS and HFS+ in this area. We should confirm that
the spelling of the workdir paths that the daemon sends to clients are
always properly normalized.

Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as
aliases of normal longname paths. FSMonitor clients, such as `git
status`, should receive the longname spelling of changed files (when
possible).
Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1". The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process. (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)
Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling. (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)
Special case the shortname spelling of ".git" to avoid under-reporting
these events.

Set the `FSMONITOR_CHANGED` bit on `istate->cache_changed` when
FSMonitor returns a very large repsonse to ensure that the index is
written to disk.
Normally, when the FSMonitor response includes a tracked file, the
index is always updated. Similarly, the index might be updated when
the response alters the untracked-cache (when enabled). However, in
cases where neither of those cause the index to be considered changed,
the FSMonitor response is wasted. Subsequent Git commands will make
requests with the same token and receive the same response.
If that response is very large, performance may suffer. It would be
more efficient to force update the index now (and the token in the
index extension) in order to reduce the size of the response received
by future commands.
This was observed on Windows after a large checkout. On Windows, the
kernel emits events for the files that are changed as they are
changed. However, it might delay events for the containing
directories until the system is more idle (or someone scans the
directory (so it seems)). The first status following a checkout would
get the list of files. The subsequent status commands would get the
list of directories as the events trickled out. But they would never
catch up because the token was not advanced because the index wasn't
updated.
This list of directories caused `wt_status_collect_untracked()` to
unnecessarily spend time actually scanning them during each command.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file
inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the
cookie are observed by the FS listener thread.
This helps address the racy nature of file system events by
blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any
event backlog.
This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are
only issued with a limited frequency. See the `latency` argument
of `FSeventStreamCreate()`. The kernel only signals every `latency`
seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely
drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval. If we
increase the frequency, the system is more likely to drop events.
We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique
cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to periodically truncate the list of
modified files to save some memory.
Clients will ask for the set of changes relative to a token that they
found in the FSMN index extension in the index. (This token is like a
point in time, but different). Clients will then update the index to
contain the response token (so that subsequent commands will be
relative to this new token).
Therefore, the daemon can gradually truncate the in-memory list of
changed paths as they become obsolete (older than the previous token).
Since we may have multiple clients making concurrent requests with a
skew of tokens and clients may be racing to the talk to the daemon,
we lazily truncate the list.
We introduce a 5 minute delay and truncate batches 5 minutes after
they are considered obsolete.

Do not copy any of the various fsmonitor--daemon files from the .git
directory of the (GIT_PREF_REPO or GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO) source repo
into the test's trash directory.
When perf tests start, they copy the contents of the source repo into
the test's trash directory. If fsmonitor is running in the source repo,
there may be control files, such as the IPC socket and/or fsmonitor
cookie files. These should not be copied into the test repo.
Unix domain sockets cannot be copied in the manner used by the test
setup, so if present, the test setup fails.
Cookie files are harmless, but we should avoid them.
The builtin fsmonitor keeps all such control files/sockets in
.git/fsmonitor--daemon*, so it is simple to exclude them.

Add the "feature: fsmonitor--daemon" message to the output of
`git version --build-options`.
The builtin FSMonitor is only available on certain platforms and

This can be used by test scripts for prereq testing. Granted, tests
could just try `git fsmonitor--daemon status` and look for a 128 exit
code or grep for a "not supported" message on stderr, but this is
rather obscure.
The main advantage is that the feature message will automatically

Include MacOS system declarations to allow us to use FSEvent and

| ^~~~~
The underlying reason is that GCC (rightfully) objects that an `enum`
value such as `kAuthorizationExternalFormLength` is not a constant
(because it is not, the preprocessor has no knowledge of it, only the
actual C compiler does) and can therefore not be used to define the size
of a C array.
This is a known problem and tracked in GCC's bug tracker:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93082
In the meantime, let's not block things and go the slightly ugly route
of declaring/defining the FSEvents constants, data structures and
functions that we need, so that we can avoid above-mentioned issue.
Let's do this _only_ for GCC, though, so that the CI/PR builds (which
build both with clang and with GCC) can guarantee that we _are_ using
the correct data types.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to build a list of changed paths and associate

backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.
The platform-specific file system listener thread receives file system
events containing one or more changed pathnames (with whatever bucketing
or grouping that is convenient for the file system). These paths are
accumulated (without locking) by the file system layer into a `fsmonitor_batch`.
When the file system layer has drained the kernel event queue, it will
"publish" them to our token queue and make them visible to concurrent
client worker threads. The token layer is free to combine and/or de-dup
paths within these batches for efficient presentation to clients.
