On an unrelated note, I'd like to point out that the divider between the blue/white sections of the page does not move when you scroll horizontally, meaning half the article text is covered when I scroll horizontally to try to get all the text in view (the page is too wide for my screen).
Git doesn’t implement any way to watch the repository and emit events when changes occur.

AFAIK, hooks are only for git events, not filesystem events. He's probably looking for something like inotify, it sounds like.
