Watching inside git repo = too many open files

[krak3n]

Hi

When running inside a Git repo it attempts to watch all the files the .git directory, this results in too many open file errors.

Solution would be to allow the user to create a .watch file in which you can write exclude or include regex rules.

Here is my debug outout from OSX.

↳ Watch -t -d go test

Thanks. I'll try to get to this within the next few days. I want to avoid dot files, so I'll probably add a command line flag.
