===========

Recursive Filesystem Tree Watcher for Go

This is a wrapper around the fsnotify functionality from [howeyc/fsnotify](https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify).

It exposes a similar interface, with an Event channel and an Error channel. All

data read from the fsnotify object is passed through to the client. 

When the TreeWatcher sees that a directory was added, it automatically starts

watching that directory and all directories under it.

## Usage

````go

tw = treewatcher.New()

defer tw.Close()

tw.WatchTree("/tmp")

for {

    select {

    event := <- tw.Event:

        handleEvent(event)

    error := <- tw.Error:

        panic(error)

    }

}

````
