We want to watch files that are never changed because lstat() on those
files is a wasted effort. So we sort unwatched files by date and start
adding them to the file watcher until it barfs (e.g. hits inotify
limit). Recently updated entries are also excluded from watch list.
CE_VALID is used in combination with CE_WATCHED. Those entries that
have CE_VALID already set will never be watched.
We send as many paths as possible in one packet in pkt-line format to
reduce roundtrips. For small projects like git, all entries can be
packed in one packet. For large projects like webkit (182k entries) it
takes two packets. We may do prefix compression as well to send more
in fewer packets..
The file watcher replies how many entries it can watch (because at
least inotify has system limits).
Note that we still do lstat() on these new watched files because they
could have changed before the file watcher could watch them. Watched
files may only skip lstat() at the next git run.
