--watch should monitor replaced files

What is the problem this feature will solve?

Currently, --watch watches an inode and not necessarily what the user might consider a "file". This can cause confusion on systems that write to disk by deleting the old file and then creating a new one.

For example, when using Docker Compose's watch mode, the watched file is first deleted. When a new file is created Node currently fails to restart on file changes, as node is still watching the inode of the deleted file, and doesn't react to the new file being created.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

While this behavior makes sense for the lower-level and more "raw" fs.watch(), perhaps the more general --watch behavior can be expanded to be smarter about detecting replaced files. Alternatively, a new flag can be introduced with this behavior.

What alternatives have you considered?

Other alternatives require using one of the different file watcher libs. That seems like a step down from the otherwise awesome native watch feature.

Docker Issue: node --watch doesn't work well within a container

Commencez par l’implémentation de --watch de Node.js et le comportement de fs.watch décrit dans l’issue. Reproduisez la séquence de suppression et de recréation de type Docker Compose, puis déterminez si le comportement existant doit être étendu ou exposé au moyen d’un nouveau flag. Le travail est terminé lorsque --watch réagit de manière fiable lorsqu’un fichier surveillé est remplacé, avec une couverture de test pour le cas de remplacement.
