The goal in the original pull is to deliver fsmonitor for Linux that works similar to fsmonitor for Windows and Mac OS. The original stale patch : https://github.com/git/git/pull/1352 This patch set builds upon previous work for done for Windows and Mac OS to implement a fsmonitor back-end for Linux based on the Linux inotify API. inotify differs significantly from the equivalent Windows and Mac OS APIs in that a watch must be registered for every directory of interest (rather than a singular watch at the root of the directory tree) and special care must be taken to handle directory renames correctly. More information about inotify: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html Eric DeCosta (6): fsmonitor: rebase with master fsmonitor: determine if filesystem is local or remote fsmonitor: implement filesystem change listener for Linux fsmonitor: enable fsmonitor for Linux fsmonitor: test updates fsmonitor: update doc for Linux marzi.esipreh (1): fsmonitor: addressed comments for patch 1352 Documentation/config/fsmonitor--daemon.txt | 4 +- Documentation/git-fsmonitor--daemon.txt | 26 +- Makefile | 4 + compat/fsmonitor/fsm-health-linux.c | 24 + compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c | 57 +- compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-linux.c | 1 + compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-unix.c | 55 ++ compat/fsmonitor/fsm-listen-linux.c | 678 +++++++++++++++++++++ compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-linux.c | 196 ++++++ compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-linux.h | 91 +++ compat/fsmonitor/fsm-settings-darwin.c | 64 +- compat/fsmonitor/fsm-settings-linux.c | 1 + compat/fsmonitor/fsm-settings-unix.c | 64 ++ config.mak.uname | 11 + contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt | 11 +- t/t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh | 138 ++++- 16 files changed, 1262 insertions(+), 163 deletions(-) create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-health-linux.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-linux.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-unix.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-listen-linux.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-linux.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-linux.h create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-settings-linux.c create mode 100644 compat/fsmonitor/fsm-settings-unix.c base-commit: 4fc51f00ef18d2c0174ab2fd39d0ee473fd144bd Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-git-1667%2Fmaryis%2Ffsmonitor_linux-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-git-1667/maryis/fsmonitor_linux-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/git/git/pull/1667 -- gitgitgadget
