[Mono-dev] FileSystemWatcher on Linux

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi,

There's a variable in InotifyWatcher named new_name_needed which is not 
used since revision 63309 and avoids "renames" to work correctly.

When a move a file (rename) I get a "moved_from" and "moved_to" pair of 
events, but they are not correctly processed since "moved_to" always 
have "new_name_needed" to false.
