Unlink and re-add fails when multiple paths are passed #682

Adding a second path to the watcher causes it to not pick up a re-add after an unlink (in non-polling and polling tests, fsevents still works). I tried poking around to find a fix but I'm not too familiar with the internals so I haven't found a solution yet. Watching directories does not have this issue.

This has proved problematic developing in Linux when switching branches and using webpack. A file that exists in one branch is removed on branch change and can no longer be watched when switching back to the initial branch.
