Description (last modified by daira)

On Unix, what happens with reference to inotify events if we rename a file while it is open? Does the path for the IN_CLOSE_WRITE event reflect the new name?

I made a short test-program, and have verified that on Linux, using the Twisted APIs, you get the CLOSE_WRITE for the *new* filename. I will attach the test-program to this ticket.

So, the answer is "yes".

OK, that is the behaviour we assumed (and wanted), so this ticket can be closed.
