Note that inotify is not recursive and is a hog if you ask it to monitor lots of dents. I am not convinced that an inotify-enabled git is a good idea for anything but small/mid-sized project. And such don't need it either. In other words, the kernel's cache will outperform any userland attempting to keep track of the fs via inotify. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- 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
