(see also jonashaag/klaus#248)

It would be useful if Dulwich provided a way to listen to changes in refs, for long-running processes. The optimal implementation for this would be to use inotify to watch for changes to .git/packed-refs, .git/HEAD and all files under .git/refs.

I'm not sure whether it makes sense to provide a non-inotify replacement, especially since that may lead to terrible surprises for the performance for some repositories.

so this is a little bit tricky with pyinotify because it needs a loop to run. asyncio makes this slightly easier, so perhaps it would be reasonable to require that with inotify.
