Repository watcher needs to be fixed #244

Description

@rowanj

There are several outstanding issues regarding repository watcher, and even a couple of pull requests; but there are underlying issues that need a Better Solution, due to poor performance and broken behaviour.

  • Watch the work dir (a bug from earlier this year means that it's only watching the index)
  • Watch the .git and work tree individually (to handle submodules)
  • Check the status of individual files per event info instead of enumerating the repository
  • Split repository and file changed events
  • Don't refresh the index unless the index has changed
  • Don't refresh the history unless the refs change
