I think this has come up from time to time, but my understanding is that nobody thought things through to find a good layer in the codebase to interface to an external daemon that listens to inotify events yet.

We are not there yet. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
