Description
Hit an issue while trying to use this with my repo that's on a [Windows 11 dev drive](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2023/06/01/dev-drive-performance-security-and-control-for-developers/). DevDrives are an ReFS-formatted drive, which by default does not have a usn journal. This was easily fixed by running `fsutil usn createjournal` on the drive, but I wanted to create an issue just to let you know that this is likely to come up more given this is a new feature of windows, and it might be worth adding a line about them to the FAQ.

Research direction
Locate the project's FAQ and review the existing guidance about Windows USN journals. Add a concise note explaining that Windows Dev Drives use ReFS and may lack a USN journal by default, including the reported fsutil usn createjournal workaround; the FAQ should clearly cover this setup.
