It might be nice to summarize the testing strategy here. Are these just
the basics? Is this a full list of every conceivable client/server
interaction? Do some platforms need special tests?

As I mentioned before, this seems like it is hiding a bug, especially
because of a full second delay. But even a 1 millisecond delay seems
like it is incorrect to assume this feature works correctly if the
test requires this delay.

If there is a specific interaction that has issues, then it might be
valid to insert this delay in a specific test or two.

I see some precedent of this pattern, but it might be nice to instead
register a prereq and then test for the prereq here in the test script.

Perhaps "kill_repo_daemon" might be more specific?

Perhaps add 'test_when_finished kill_repo "$r"' as a line here so
consumers don't need to do it themselves.

This is an example of a test that could have been created as early as
patch 09/23.

Why the parentheses here?

I can understand this sleep, as we are waiting for a background process
to end in response to a directory being deleted.

I'm surprised this works on Windows! I recall having issues deleting
repos that are being watched by Watchman.

The tests above seem like they could be inserted as soon as the
platform-specific listeners are created. None of this requires the
linked-list of batched updates or cookie file checks.

Now we are getting into the meat of the interactions with Git
features. I can understand these not being ready until all of
the previous product patches are in place.

Should this be a "test_when_finished kill_repo ." at the
beginning of the test?

Do you need the quotes here?

Use "$(pwd)/.git/trace". There are some strange things with $PWD
especially on Windows.

I wonder if we can scan the trace for the number of events
and ensure we have the right count, to ensure we aren't getting
_extra_ events that we don't want?

The rest of the tests seem similarly structured and testing
important cases. I'll delay thinking of new tests until I see
the rest of the tests you are adding.
