inotify, etc

Has anybody considered the use of inotify (in linux) to improve the performance of things like "svn st" ? In order to use it, I think there would need to be a daemon of some sort, which constantly runs and monitors specific directories. The daemon would be platform-specific. The client would need to be aware the daemon was running, so the client could ask the daemon for the answer instead of walking the tree.

I don't know the names, but I know there are equivalent concepts available in Windows, Solaris, and OSX.
