Additional filters #10

Open nathany opened 10 years ago

nathany commented 10 years ago

I would like to implement filters like these in a separate utility package:

shell pattern matches, such as *.go
excluding hidden files and directories (.git, .hg)
throwing out duplicate events on a file (occurring within a second)

(My attempt to incorporate them into fsnotify itself is here: https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify/pull/65)

This would be really amazing, and preferably something that is compatible with filepath.Glob, however, it does not support exclusion but it is easy to add glob exclusion.
