I have a project where I need to notice changes to files in a large =
directory tree.
I noticed that there was a project in GSOC 2010 to implement such a =
feature.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/SOC2010IlyaPutsikau=20

It appears that it was never completed.  Is it desirable to have this =
project
completed and added into FreeBSD.  Or, is there another way to get file
system change notifications?
