dotnet watch crashes upon adding static files

[tanveerbadar]

Describe the bug

I am repeatedly seeing crashes in dotnet watch when my process adds any static file to its sub-directories that dotnet watch is listening for file change events.

To Reproduce

Start dotnet watch on a project which writes text file to one of the sub-directories. The process will crash.

Exceptions (if any)

dotnet watch ⏳ Waiting for a file to change before restarting dotnet...
dotnet watch 🔄 Restart requested.
dotnet watch ❌ System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')
