Watching results in FSEvent error on OS X

[andreif]

When I use watch for a directory with many files, I get lots of errors like

2013-08-15 11:46 node[81568] (CarbonCore.framework) FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR: f2d_register_rpc() => (null) (-21)

I have to make specific mask to avoid it, e.g.

coffee -wbc my_big_app/**/*.coffee

The issue may be related to nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#5463

Versions: node 0.10.15, coffee-script 1.6.3

I don't think this has anything to do with coffee itself.

It would be nice if one can skip **/*.coffee every time.

** is actually not working for all subdirectories, so one has to run it with the errors above to watch all coffee files in the tree.

Quite so.
