Hi,

This is done in the indexer, the daemon, however, currently has no way
of knowing about files linked by moves. Instead, GIO gives us DELETED
and CREATED events.

That is quite unacceptable I think.

I have created a bug report about this:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547890

We can in the mean time perhaps add some glue by checking the md5sum of
the 2 files to see if they are the same and the events occur within the
same 2 seconds perhaps? I would rather not do this. But it might be
necessary for the time being.
