Description

Currently, index refresh needs to be triggered by ccc index or ccc search --refresh.
It needs to scan metadata for all files.

We want to support live file watching. When enabled, we continuously watch file changes, and ccc index / --refresh in ccc search will be no-op. It can be enabled/disabled on per-repo basis.
