inotify: don't remove sibling watches sharing a path prefix#754
Merged
Conversation
removePath used strings.HasPrefix, so removing a recursive watch on /tmp/a also dropped a sibling watch on /tmp/ab. Match on a path boundary instead.

watches.removePathusedstrings.HasPrefix(p, path)to find descendants of a recursive watch, so removing/tmp/a/...also dropped a sibling watch on/tmp/ab. Match on a path-separator boundary so only the target and its real descendants are removed.
