From c84ddbaa333fc502394941320d3abef2db6889f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pádraig Brady Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2010 14:02:12 +0100 Subject: tail: support rechecking currently missing remote dirs src/tail.c (main): As an optimization, don't bother checking for stdin or remote files, when ---disable-inotify is specified. To improve the fix in commit 61b77891, set the disable_inotify flag when we fall back to polling, so that we recheck remote files.
