-// Note to future well meaning engineers. Unless kqueue semantics have changed
-// considerably, do NOT try to reimplement this class using kqueue. The main
-// problem is that this class requires the ability to watch a directory
-// and notice changes to any files within it. A kqueue on a directory can watch
-// for creation and deletion of files, but not for modifications to files within
-// the directory. To do this with the current kqueue semantics would require
-// kqueueing every file in the directory, and file descriptors are a limited
-// resource. If you have a good idea on how to get around this, the source for a
-// reasonable implementation of this class using kqueues is attached here:

-// Mac-specific file watcher implementation based on the FSEvents API.
+// Mac-specific file watcher implementation based on kqueue.
+// Originally it was based on FSEvents so that the semantics were equivalent
+// on Linux, OSX and Windows where it was able to detect:
+// - file creation/deletion/modification in a watched directory
+// - file creation/deletion/modification for a watched file
+// - modifications to the paths to a watched object that would affect the
+//   object such as renaming/attibute changes etc.
+// The FSEvents version did all of the above except handling attribute changes
+// to path components. Unfortunately FSEvents appears to have an issue where the
+// current implementation (Mac OS X 10.6.7) sometimes drops events and doesn't
+// send notifications. See
+// http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=54822#c31 for source that
+// will reproduce the problem. FSEvents also required having a CFRunLoop
+// backing the thread that it was running on, that caused added complexity
+// in the interfaces.
+// The kqueue implementation will handle all of the items in the list above
+// except for detecting modifications to files in a watched directory. It will
+// detect the creation and deletion of files, just not the modification of
+// files. It does however detect the attribute changes that the FSEvents impl
+// would miss.
