Support watch events for hard links
In our implementation of watch events, we assume path names are enough to trigger events: a file is changed, we use the path to look at registered watchers (for that path or path prefix), and fire off events. This breaks for hard links created with fs.link()
.
We probably need to do more work when we register the watch. Maybe we stat
the path and get the file node's id
(in the case of a file). Or maybe we can borrow something from chokidar. What we do for file paths will also need to be thought through for dirs.
This is a bit of an edge case, and I'm not sure how much work to do to support it. But I'm going to land a test and skip()
it, so we can return to this later.
Test landed in https://github.com/filerjs/filer/pull/595
