inotify/IN_MOVED_TO

[cpisto]

Is there a particular reason IN_MOVED_TO isn't supported for rename events in the inotify/linux backend? Without it, watching for files being moved into a directory is not possible..

I could probably add that in, I'd have to see how it compares to behavior
on Windows and OSX/BSD. I would assume such a situation to behave similar
to a CREATE event, but I'll take a look and do some testing to find out.

I agree, the way the fsnotify API is structured now, it would fit best with being a CREATE event.

I added IN_MOVED_TO which will generate a CREATE event.
