macOS: renaming a file to same name but different case emits wrong events #146

Description

@bpasero

Have a watcher such as this one:

const nsfw = require("nsfw");

nsfw('<path to folder>', events => {
    for (const event of events) {
        console.log(event);
    }
}, {
    errorCallback: error => console.error(error)
}).then(watcher => {
    return watcher.start();
}).then(() => {
    console.log("DONE")
});

On macOS (I am on 11.6) select a file in the finder and rename the file by only changing the case of one letter of the file.

=> 🐛 the output is:

{
  action: 2,
  directory: '/Users/bpasero/Desktop/nsfw/fixtures',
  file: 'index.js'
}
{
  action: 2,
  directory: '/Users/bpasero/Desktop/nsfw/fixtures',
  file: 'Index.js'
}

Which indicates this is a change event, but I would have expected either rename or delete+add.

This works fine on Windows btw.
