Looking at the code, the options.bases array is added to the watch task with the '/**/*.*' extension, which means that everything under the bases folders is being watched.
This is less than ideal, in many cases one only wants to watch for changes in a certain file type, especially when using something like Bower for pulling in dependencies. In this case, I want to mount/serve all of the directories (including the ones provided by Bower), but I only want to watch for changes in certain files, e.g. **/*.html.
Is there a way to achieve this? With the current version, once I enable on the livereload flag, the watch task takes a long time to go through all of the files, resulting in a delay of several seconds.
The only way to work around this seems to be to disable livereload and provide a more fine-grained definition of the watch task...
