os/fsnotify

It looks like os/fsnotify will take the minimal approach that is appropriate for the os package. It's a good move, especially given the Go 1.3 timeline.

• Merge open pull requests? @howeyc
• Update code.google.com/p/go.exp/fsnotify to match GitHub master. https://codereview.appspot.com/58500043
• Encourage people to move issues to https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/list?q=fsnotify
• Finish API doc http://goo.gl/MrYxyA.
• Modify go.exp/fsnotify to match the proposed os/fsnotify API -- for use in Go 1.2.
• Leave howeyc/fsnotify as-is for existing users.
• Update contributing to get involved with os/fsnotify. fsnotify moving notice #84

I'm not sure what approach @rsc wants to take to get os/fsnotify itself implemented.

• Refactoring, documentation, tests, bugfixing.
• Close outstanding issues Intermittent test failure on OS X (kqueue) #67, Race on OS X between Close() and readEvents() #70, No Events are Triggered by Watcher in CentOS 6.4 #52 and Write Events/Errors using select #7 (perhaps copy relevant issues to https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/list?q=fsnotify). Maybe Add an IsAttrib method on the FileEvent struct #79 will help with Double modify events on Mac OS X #62.

Go 1.3 code freeze is March 1st. Russ Cox wrote a proposal for inclusion of fsnotify and use by go test.

golang-dev thread on fsnotify

@samjacobson In case you hadn't heard, Go 1.3 is to include os/fsnotify.

There is an active discussion on this CL https://codereview.appspot.com/48310043/ in addition to some threads in the golang-dev list.

Thanks for letting me know. That's great news. Congratulations!

March 1st is code freeze for adding fsnotify to Go 1.3 standard library, and we have lots of work to do beyond copying across what's here. Please sign the CLA as soon as possible. Thanks!
