```
$ datasette --version
datasette, version 0.59.1
```

If I run `datasette` within just a folder of files, 

```
$ datasette serve .
```

Adding new files while datasette is running shows no new files, and removing files causes datasette to return 500 errors.

I tried seeing if I could get `--reload` to work, but I'm getting issues trying to use that command when specifying a directory, as the command `serve` ends up in the files list(?): 

```
datasette serve  . --reload
