From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Teach the fsmonitor--daemon to CD outside of the worktree
before starting up.
The common Git startup mechanism causes the CWD of the daemon process
to be in the root of the worktree. On Windows, this causes the daemon
process to hold a locked handle on the CWD and prevents other
processes from moving or deleting the worktree while the daemon is
running.
CD to HOME before entering main event loops.
