My understanding is that Buck2 uses Watchman (disclaimer: I'm one of the maintainers) so it can work with both Git and Mercurial repositories efficiently, without compromising performance.

It can use watchman, but for open source we default to inotify (and platform equivalent versions on Mac/Windows) to avoid you having to install anything.
