Your patch is very useful. Here's (with gcc -03) some runtimes. This
also includes my .git exclusion patch.

These are all best out of 5, and with the top (until <0.5% time) of
strace -c output (run as another invocation, timing not done with
strace)::

For comparison just the output from the hook:

    $ time ('.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman' '1' '1517052856494406191')
    .git
    real    0m0.017s
    user    0m0.011s
    sys     0m0.003s

And this is what goes on behind the scenes after we get rid of the
.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman overhead:
    
    $ time (echo '["query", "/home/aearnfjord/git_tree/2015-04-03-1M-git", {
                            "since": 1517052856,
