immediate visibility of changes on all mounts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Mount a filesystem from two clients
2. Create a file on the mountpoint of first client
3. Do "tail -f" of the file from the second client
4. Append some text to the file on the first client
5. Observe that tail never sees the change, unless the file is explicitly open 
from a different process. (restart of the same tail does not help either).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In absense of inotify semantics, tail falls back to checking file size each 
second.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
python-webdav 0.9.8-3 (as packaged by ubuntu raring - 13.04)

Please provide any additional information below.
Inotify support would be the best resolution of the bug.
