[TxMt] Any solutions for file notifications on remote fs?

I have a recurring problem where TM cannot detect file changes.

This is because I work on a a remote filesystem (Centos), which is mounted
via AFP.
Its actually a VM running on ESXI Server on my LAN, although a Vagrant or
VMWare setup is quite common now.

>From what I understand, TM uses kqueue or BSD's FSEvents for file
notifications (I suspect kqueue?).

Its causing me a lot of problems as I switch git branch and TM doesn't
always detect it, sometimes resulting in a file from another branch being
saved over the top.

A bit of googling shows there is libkqueue, which tries to provide a kqueue
interface on top of the underlying host OS, but its not clear to me whether
this would be suitable for a remote fs, even if it was feasible to compile
into TM.

Has anyone found a workaround to this please?
