I'd like a way to always ask the RCS (Git) to update a file's mtime in
|
|
refresh mode. This is currently only done on the first build, and later
|
|
for `--gettime --rebuild`. But always rebuilding is too heavy-weight for
|
|
this use-case. My options are to either manually set the mtime before
|
|
refreshing, or to have ikiwiki do it at command. I used to do the
|
|
former, but would now like the latter, as ikiwiki now generally does this
|
|
timestamp handling.
|
|
|
|
From a quick look, the code in `IkiWiki/Render.pm:find_new_files` is
|
|
relevant: `if (! $pagemtime{$page}) { [...]`.
|
|
|
|
How would you like to tackle this?
