The drop-upload feature (#1429) uses inotify to detect filesystem changes, and therefore works only on Linux. This ticket is about supporting the same feature on Windows, probably using either ReadDirectoryChangesW or NTFS change journals.

Known Windows-only issues not mentioned in drop-upload-docs-including-windows.darcs.patch:

local directories with non-ASCII names are not currently working;
when a node has drop-upload enabled, it is unresponsive to Ctrl-C (it can only be killed using Task Manager or similar).

In addition to the issues noted in comment:84112, the patches also need rebasing to current trunk.

From pairing today, we have concluded:

only RealTest.test_alice_bob is failing
flush_volume() doesn't help, even from an administrator prompt
the temporary shutil.move() hackery doesn't help
it seems a bunch of events are doubled (e.g. uploaded counts etc), but this isn't entirely consistent
when something fails (e.g. assert), there's a (probably spurious) permission denied windows error (admin prompt or not)
if all the counts are "fixed", then the test passes but only sometimes
