Don't follow symlinks #29

Closed gmethvin closed 5 years ago

gmethvin commented 5 years ago

The existing code should never follow symlinks. Following symlinks could be added as a feature, but this needs to consider how the built-in recursive watching is implemented. For example, the macOS watcher will not report changes for symlinked directories.

Fixes #28.
