Watching a tree containing a symlink to '/' adds a watch to the whole file system, which is probably unwanted. To avoid such behavior by default, following symlinks has to be enabled explicitly. The code may still be vulnerable to TOCTOU. Further changes: * Use `os.walk()` to traverse the tree to watch * Remove duplicate `add_watch()` for `IN_MOVED_TO` * flake8 * Warn instead of failing hard if adding a watch in a tree fails. Can be, for example, a permission error.
