----------------------------------------
{quote}Just remember that FileWatches don't work recursively.

uh, yes, i was also researching currently a bit in that direction.
it seems there are probably more unwanted side effects: if a watcher is
registered for every path recursively, those paths cannot be removed (at least
not in windows), from what i've read. that is something we definitely do not
want.
my initial hope was to eliminate the unit tests flakiness we have currently on
the windows machines in jenkins. we do not want to replace one problem with
another.
