Use inotify/fswatch for file changes #695

Closed MasseGuillaume closed 7 years ago

For example, on the status view, I need to press F5 to update the view. A file watch on the directory removing gitignore entries could notify tig to update.

Hi Guillaume, fswatch indeed looks like the best option for such a feature.

I will go ahead and close this as a duplicate of #301 which has a few comments about how the current "watch" mechanism is implemented.
