Even though the fix seems to solve the problem, it does create another
one: if more than one event are fired in one batch (in one parentKey),
the other events are purged.

I'll look into this a little more.

Title:
  putting a larger file in synced folder generates large amount of
  Watcher events

Status in Syncany:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I copy a somewhat larger file (e.g. a couple of megabytes) into
  the synchronized folder then this generates a very large amount of
  file watcher events and corresponding indexer updates.

  Moving parentKey.reset() from the BufferedWatcher worker thread to the
  end of processEvent() to hold of any new events until after processing
  seems to solve this (see attached patch).
