It knows they exist, but they show - up the same as any other file in its reporting. - -- Watchman waits for a root to settle down before it will start to - trigger notifications or command execution. - -- Watchman is conservative, preferring to err on the side of caution; - it considers files to be freshly changed when you start to watch them - or when it is unsure. - -- You can query a root for file changes since you last checked, or the - current state of the tree. - -- You can subscribe to file changes that occur in a root. - -Note: this is not the latest version of watchman.
