Maybe once we get the multi-repo file watcher, we could launch one watcher per trash directory and cleaning up would be easier. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
