Comment 2 for bug 599271

I had a look at some GIO stuff...
I dont know how much it depends on inotify, but i found a monitor_directory
method that could monitor the home directory recursively.
If it is elegant enough I could write an extension that monitors the home
directory for move event and update the uris in the DB as well as push in a
"MOVE" event.
We should also see how tracker does it to keep track of their uuids.
