Review request for kdelibs and David Faure.


Changes
-------

Updated diff according to comments.


Description
-------

At first i wasn't intending to even ask a reviewrequest for this because i want to fix an issue that is well described in my thread: "KDirWatch bug and the analysis. Help is welcome!" on kde-core-devel. However, while starting on fixing that issue i noticed that this would be a nice small improvement to have. It prevents one stat call that was used to determine if "entry" is a file or folder. Inotify already gives us that information under the IN_ISDIR flag thus i use that instead of the stat call.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  kdecore/io/kdirwatch.cpp 95ee3d3 

Diff: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111870/diff/


Testing
-------

Compiles just fine.
Runs fine, i haven't seen any issues thus far.
Oh and it passes all kio test cases but i specially note the following:
kdirwatchtest
kdirlistertest
kdirmodeltest


Thanks,

Mark Gaiser
