fsnotify moving notice

[nathany]

Go 1.3 will include os/fsnotify in the standard library with a new API.

• Import code.google.com/p/go.exp/fsnotify (GoDoc) for the latest API under development.
• Continue importing github.com/howeyc/fsnotify (GoDoc) for the stable API.
• Report Issues to go.exp/fsnotify after testing against code.google.com/p/go.exp/fsnotify

You may want to wait until https://codereview.appspot.com/58500043/ is merged before merging this.

GoDoc indicates that you have a package that imports code.google.com/p/go.exp/fsnotify.

Please be aware that go.exp is experimental and the API will be changing over the next few weeks. If you don't want to update your package in lock-step, consider importing github.com/howeyc/fsnotify. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll drop a note here once https://codereview.appspot.com/58500043/ is merged. Until then I don't recommend importing go.exp/fsnotify - unless you want to leap back in time.

@howeyc Should we try to apply bug fixes to both repositories while only changing the API at go.exp/fsnotify?

[eaburns]

I'm not sure to whom this question is directed, but since I'm CCed, I'll
answer.

If it's not hard to fix the bugs in both places then it's nice to have
fewer bugs out in the wild. However, I haven't seen any issues with my
Watch program using the howeyec repository, so if it's going to be a big
time sink to fix both, then I don't mind waiting for go.exp to get the
fixes.

CL 58500043 has been merged. https://codereview.appspot.com/58500043/
So now both repositories match.

@eaburns I agree. Maybe we can fix a few issues before jumping on the API changes.
