OK, the failure here is due to a bad check in the code -- it's intended
that index-helper work without watchman.  Will re-roll with a fix.

I'll add in a sig_ign on that.

I missed a test_when_finished (note that in the case of test failures
in debug mode, test_when_finished statements are not executed on
failing tests, so you would still see an index-helper in that case;
since test failures are not expected, that shouldn't be a problem).

Will fix, thanks.

Yes (once I re-roll with the bug fix).

It's not; the code that checks for that request is mistakenly detecting
that it is.

verify_index should be used in index-helper but that somehow got lost
in v3.  Will fix on reroll.
write_watchman_ext is exported because index-helper currently uses it.

Yes for large indexes -- see the measurements in patch v3 (which is
earlier in the series than watchman is introduced).

Will fix, thanks.
