+Note that if you concurrently use multiple versions of Git, such

+allow boolean values in addition to hook pathnames. Git versions
+2.35.1 and prior will not understand the boolean values and will
+consider the "true" or "false" values as hook pathnames to be
+invoked. Git versions 2.26 thru 2.35.1 default to hook protocol
+V2 and will fall back to no fsmonitor (full scan). Git versions
+prior to 2.26 default to hook protocol V1 and will silently
+assume there were no changes to report (no scan), so status
+commands may report incomplete results. For this reason, it is
+best to upgrade all of your Git versions before using the built-in

+-----------
+
+A daemon to watch the working directory for file and directory
+changes using platform-specific file system notification facilities.
+
+This daemon communicates directly with commands like `git status`
+using the link:technical/api-simple-ipc.html[simple IPC] interface
+instead of the slower linkgit:githooks[5] interface.
+
+This daemon is built into Git so that no third-party tools are
+required.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+start::
+ Starts a daemon in the background.
+
+run::
+ Runs a daemon in the foreground.
+
+stop::
+ Stops the daemon running in the current working
+ directory, if present.
+
+status::
+ Exits with zero status if a daemon is watching the
+ current working directory.
+
+REMARKS
+-------
+
+This daemon is a long running process used to watch a single working
+directory and maintain a list of the recently changed files and
+directories. Performance of commands such as `git status` can be
+increased if they just ask for a summary of changes to the working
+directory and can avoid scanning the disk.
+
+When `core.fsmonitor` is set to `true` (see linkgit:git-config[1])
+commands, such as `git status`, will ask the daemon for changes and
+automatically start it (if necessary).
+
+For more information see the "File System Monitor" section in
+linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
+CAVEATS
+-------
+
+The fsmonitor daemon does not currently know about submodules and does
+not know to filter out file system events that happen within a
+submodule. If fsmonitor daemon is watching a super repo and a file is
+modified within the working directory of a submodule, it will report
+the change (as happening against the super repo). However, the client
+will properly ignore these extra events, so performance may be affected
+but it will not cause an incorrect result.
