Reload on additional file changes

[Dreamsorcerer]

It would be nice to specify some other files/directories that should be watched for changes and trigger a reload.

In my use-case, the application spawns a separate Python process from some other file, so changes to that file are not recognised as it is not part of the main application.

Folder structure looks like:
root/main_application/
root/extra_application/

I run adev runserver main_application, which itself spawn a process to run extra_application. Changes to extra_application don't cause a reload.

Expected solution, add an option so it is possible to do something like:
adev runserver main_application --watch extra_application/

I am using https://github.com/eradman/entr for reloading my dev apps and so on....
You pipe all watched files into it and it reloads/executes a command:

# for execution on change
fd . | entr docker-compose exec kong kong reload

# for reload on change
fd . | entr -r bm-ucm serve

This is a duplicate of #209.

Basically, use --root on the parent directory.
