BTW, what happens if the file gets overwritten without touching its
inode (e.g. use auto-revert-mode on ~/foo and then do "mv ~/bar ~/foo"
and then "echo toto >>~/foo")?

You'll presumably get some notification of the "mv" itself, but will you
subsequently get the notification of the "echo" (which is now modifying
another inode than the original ~/foo)?
