This version includes the following changes since v4: 1. The last patch has been removed; it's pretty much always a good idea to wait for the index-helper 2. Documentation for index-helper --kill and --autorun. Documentation for update-index --watchman. Documentation for index-format for WAMA. Documentation for index-helper suggesting running update-index --watchman. 3. index-helper autorun moved to read-cache so it's only run on relevant commands. 4. Tests: Broken && chain fixed; removed a subshell 5. A couple of fd leaks fixed. 6. Cruft removed. 7. New perf numbers.
