+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?
