== Overview ==
This extension integrates Mercurial with the file system monitor [[https://github.com/facebook/watchman|watchman]], to speed up file status operations. The extension is known to work on Linux, and supposedly works on BSDs and OS X.

For installation and configuration instructions, see the [[https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hgwatchman/src/default/README.md|README]].

This is intended to be a correct replacement for the known-broken [[InotifyExtension]].
