[Dirvish] Hauntingly similar to Dirvish

[Eric Smith]

We should feel validated.

While the GUI is indeed awesome, the big difference for me is the usage 
of FSEvents so that only files (really directories) that have been 
modified are scanned.  For filesystems with many thousands of 
directories, this is a gigantic win.  The other big win is hard links to 
directories.  I'm not sure it would be possible to add either of these 
features into dirvish and/or rysnc.  At least I haven't thought of a way.
