From: Kevin Willford <Kevin.Willford@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> A new config value for core.fsmonitorHookVersion was added to be able to force the version of the fsmonitor hook. Possible values are 1 or 2. When this is not set the code will use a value of -1 and attempt to use version 2 of the hook first and if that fails will attempt version 1.
