+I had started a fresh repo to test out the watch command again on OSX and noticed that it's borked, I'm not sure when it was broken.
+
+The snippet of the log message and command is
+
+<pre>
+$ git annex watch --foreground -d -v

+I had run git-annex with a new repo with just doing a git init and git annex init, I just threw in one or two small text files to see if it was working. It just hangs and does nothing. I had also tried it out on one of my bigger repos and it does the same thing it just hangs at _(scanning...)_ There isn't much to go on, I wonder if it's hitting the [[Issue on OSX with some system limits]] or if its just a thread/fork issue on OSX.
