[issue1221] inotify extension not working

[Dov Feldstern]

New submission from Dov Feldstern <dfeldstern at fastimap.com>:

The inotify extension doesn't appear to be working correctly. I'm using the
latest version on crew (88a1bcc5c6a7). I tried this on two different linux
machines, with different kernels (both of which support inotify), and I've been
having similar issues with both.

Here's an example session (the problems are non-deterministic --- sometimes it
even works at first --- but very quickly some sort of problem does appear):

23:46 /tmp> hg init inotify-test
23:47 /tmp> cd inotify-test/
23:47 /tmp/inotify-test>

In a separate terminal:
23:33 /tmp/rebase-test> cd ../inotify-test/
23:47 /tmp/inotify-test> hg inserve --debug > /tmp/inserve.log

Back in the first terminal:
23:47 /tmp/inotify-test> echo 'testing' > a
23:48 /tmp/inotify-test> hg stat
? a
23:48 /tmp/inotify-test> hg com -A -m 'a test'
adding a
23:48 /tmp/inotify-test> hg stat       # <<== so far so good, but now:
A a
? a

After killing inserve, then, as expected:

23:48 /tmp/inotify-test> hg stat
23:49 /tmp/inotify-test>

I'm also attaching inserve's log in case it's of any use.

Thanks!
Dov
