[PATCH 0/7] fsmonitor: completing a stale patch that Implements fsmonitor for Linux

["marzi via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

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:
