`watchDir` misses some Git events, `watchTree` shows them all on Linux about hfsnotify HOT 6 OPEN

Not sure I understand -- watchDir/watchDirChan are the non-recursive versions, so it's expected that they'll miss events in subdirectories, if that's what's happening.

Can you provide a complete repro showing the problem?

from hfsnotify.

These are events in the same directory, not subdirectories.

Complete repro is in entangled repo: entangled/entangled#80 (comment)
Since similar issue seems to occur with confPolling = True on Ubuntu 20.04, I will investigate more carefully, and hopefully then we can copy complete repro script here.

Okay, I'll wait for the repro script to look deeply into this.

As many details as you could provide would be helpful, such as the event types and order of events that causes the problem.

You might also want to make sure confUsePolling = False, since polling can definitely miss events--for example, if a file is quickly created and then deleted in between polls. (There seems to be some confusion about whether polling is enabled in the linked discussion.)

@thomasjm Our test only aims for eventual consistency, so it is the situation where file is changed and not reported at all that seems most concerning.

@mgajda sounds good -- I'm ready to look at a simple repro script anytime.
