I wasn't aware of inotify-tools, so I wrote my own. Still, the inotify-tools programs miss a check for ignoring directories with predetermined contents (I want to ignore sub-directories with their own git repository). I think I'll contribute to inotify-tools a switch for that, and switch to perl. That will simplify the development and allow for coalescing events, so that updates with temporary files would be a simple update. > Feel free to ignore my comments on why I think that that is crap anyway > and do whatever you want with the script. FWIW, I also think that trying to keep a coherent stat with automatic commits isn't possible. As for the temporary, unneeded files, a exclusion pattern will suffice, and using .git directly, instead of a (FUSE) filesystem, will allow permanent storage of those temporary files, until explicitly removed.
