The git checkout and build process can leave the checkout
date in the tarball release, leading to unstable sorting.
I tried to use `git restore-mtime`, but that doesn't work for
ikiwiki, because dgit interferes with it.
When building ikiwiki from a tarball, the mtime (conceptually, the
last modification date of the file) is preserved by tar, but the inode
change time (creation/metadata-change date of *this copy* of the file)
is not. This seems to lead to unstable sort ordering and
unreproducible builds.
The page can't possibly have been modified before it was created, so
we can assume that the modification date is an upper bound for the
creation date.
This doesn't prevent memory from being used to track what we have
and haven't scanned, but it does make it temporary.
This only applies to rebuilds, as a way to avoid breaking the
templatebody plugin, unlike the earlier version of this optimization.
This reverts commit c04a26f3e7, which
turns out to break the templatebody directive: readtemplate() relies
on scan() populating %templates, but if scan() is a no-op after
leaving the scan phase, we can't rely on that.
The assumption made by skipping scan() after the end of the render phase
is that everything that comes from a scan is already in the index.
However, we don't really want to put template bodies in the index:
that would force us to load and save them on every refresh, and
redundantly persist them to disk.
Test-case:
% make clean
% ./Makefile.PL
% make
% grep -E '<div class="notebox">|Use this template to' html/sandbox.html
% touch doc/sandbox/New_blog_entry.mdwn # sandbox inlines this
% make
% grep -E '<div class="notebox">|Use this template to' html/sandbox.html
Good result: html/sandbox.html contains <div class="notebox"> both times
Bad result: html/sandbox.html contains "Use this template to..." the
second time
This avoids nasty surprises on upgrade if a site is using httpauth,
or passwordauth with an account_creation_password, and relying on
only a select group of users being able to edit the site. We can revisit
this for ikiwiki 4.
