Someone has documented this workaround: #2042. I believe it should be on the trouble shooting page.

Please can this be merged in to the troubleshooting doc as it's caused my team some headaches, which would have taken less time to figure out had this been included.

@wez: can you confirm that this is a legitimate workaround? Is @frantic's 1e1efce a sufficient fix?

@frantic's fix should be sufficient. It is true that having source control initiated will also resolve this, but the presence of a .watchmanconfig file is the definitive signal to watchman on locating the root of the repo.
