I also tried with node.js 5.x:\n\nSteps:\n- create a folder with one file in it and enable git in that folder\n- commit to `master`\n- create `other` branch, make some changes to the file and commit to `other` branch\n- switch between the branches while checking the output of the following script:\n\n``` javascript\nvar fs = require(\"fs\");\n\nvar watcher = fs.watch('\u003cpath to file\u003e');\nwatcher.on('change', function(eventtype) {\n    console.log(eventtype);\n});\n```\n\n=\u003e I get a `rename` event for the first time I switch to the `other` branch. After that, the events stop when switching branches.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bpasero","@type":"Person","name":"bpasero"},"datePublished":"2016-02-02T09:49:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/5039/node/issues/5039"}
