Hi,

One chap submitted a pull request to watch the entire GOPATH worth of source:
https://github.com/robfig/revel/pull/153

That seems to work in inotify (and I believe windows as well) -- however, kqueue chokes on it due to the number of file descriptors required.

This article suggests that FSEvents would be the mechanism to use for directory-level monitoring:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1772209/file-level-filesystem-change-notification-in-mac-os-x

Have you thought about integrating this sort of functionality into your package? I think it would be valuable (for revel in particular!).

Thanks again!
Rob
