T. R. Bernstein 134034f3ea Watch directories moved into the tree and report their content
Automatic subtree watching only reacted to `CREATE`, so a directory
moved in from elsewhere stayed unwatched. It is now handled like a
created one. Items that already exist in such a directory never
produce kernel events; they are reported with the same event kind
and `synthesized` set to `true`, so consumers can treat them as
newly appeared.
