The way the original code worked was that when you opened a
directory it showed whatever the contents were the last time
it was opened.  It then requests the contents (which happen
in the background thread).  When those come back the displayed
contents are adjusted to match what just came back.  That gives
really good performance and interactivity as well as being
accurate.

But we aren't talking about mounting/mounting.  We are talking
about displaying hierarchical information.

If you want to be different, then consider this:
