Update: it looks like I was not really testing anything, because apparently the
inotify extension no longer does anything unless you explicitly 'hg inserve'.
(It used to automatically start the daemon on demand but it seems this is no
longer true?) When I update the test case accordingly, I get the original bug,
plus an error:


#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
killall hg
rm -rf hg-inotify-test
hg init hg-inotify-test
cd hg-inotify-test
hg inserve &
echo '^build$' > .hgignore
hg ci -m ignorelist -A
mkdir build
touch build/x
touch build/y
echo 'stat #1'
hg stat
touch .hgignore
echo 'stat #2'
hg stat


hg: no process killed
adding .hgignore
stat #1
M .hgignore
? build/x
? build/y
stat #2
