Looking into this change and I wonder if instead we should be updating
refresh_fsmonitor to only update istate->cache_changed if there was an
entry where CE_FSMONITOR_VALID was turned off.

The reason I bring this up is because with this change, the post-index-change
hook will behave differently depending on fsmonitor.  It will pass if
GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR is unset or set to fsmonitor-watchman. But when set
to fsmonitor-all it will fail because it is going down the code path that
invalidates all the entries and sets istate->cache_changed.
Thanks, this observation was correct. v3 of this patch will check if
the index actually needs to mark its cache as changed, and this test
passes without modification.

We need to take a close look at all the tests in
t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh and see if we are doing the right thing with
these changes because before most commands that read the
index would only apply the bits from the fsmonitor bitmap to
the cache entries.  Whereas now, it does that but also applies what the
fsmonitor hooks returns so the content of .git/hooks/fsmonitor-test is
now affecting tests and commands where it was not before.

So if .git/hooks/fsmonitor-test has paths even git ls-files gets those
paths marked dirty and that command is being used to validate the state of
the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.  So I think in most cases for these tests we
want the .git/hooks/fsmonitor-test to be empty before calling git ls-files
so that doesn't change the index state.
I audited these tests very closely, and to the best of my knowledge,
the modifications made are valid.

For test failures of

test_expect_success 'update-index --fsmonitor-valid sets the fsmonitor
valid bit'
test_expect_success 'newly added files are marked valid'

It's relatively straightforward that our patch now runs the fsmonitor
hook so we need to make sure the hook doesn't return anything.

The trickiest case was "refresh_index()" test, and I've made a slight
change to make it clearer why that test was failing.

With patch v2, git add was failing to add all files, since it now
consults the fsmonitor hook which wrongly implied that no files were
modified. This was rectified by the write_integration_script. After
that, we immediately ensure that the test fsmonitor doesn't return any
files, and the test passes.

FYI I have been testing with the ce_uptodate macro checking the
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID flag instead and only have failures when using
the fsmonitor-watchman script which I'm not sure if all the tests were
ever passing using it.
Yeah, I see the same results.

The one part that I don't fully understand if safe is copying over the
o->src_index->fsmonitor_last_update to the result index in
unpack-trees. I don't understand the implications of that, and if
that's the only field worth copying over, or if we should be copying
over other fields like the bitmap as well.
