Dear list,
I have implemented an editor where I use UKKQueue to handle changes to the file
by other apps. The problem is that I don't get a notification if the file is
committed to a CVS repository (or an SVN repository, for that matter). Looking
at the file on disk, CVS does change the file because it updates the $Id:$ tag.
If I change the file on disk with, for example, vi, then I get the
notification. So why not when CVS makes the change? What's more, if I save the
file in the editor then the contents of the file on disk are not updated. It
seems like CVS has moved my file somewhere else but the OS knows about that.
For the UKKQueue experts, I initialise my path watcher like this:
UKKQueue *queue = [UKKQueue sharedFileWatcher];
[queue addPathToQueue: [aDoc pathOnDisk]
notifyingAbout: UKKQueueNotifyAboutWrite];
I suspect that I'm not understanding something fundamental about how the OS is
handling files and/or how CVS interacts with that.
Any insights gratefully received,
Martin
