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?

This could be done via a needsbuild hook. The hook is passed
the list of changed files, and it should be safe to call rcs_getmtime
and update the pagemtime for each.
That lets the feature be done by a plugin, which seems good, since
rcs_getmtime varies between very slow and not very fast, depending on
VCS.
AFAICS, the only use case for doing this is if you commit changes and
then delay pushing them to a DVCS repo. Since then the file mtime will
be when the change was pushed, not when it was committed. But I've
generally felt that recording when a change was published to the repo
of a wiki as its mtime is good enough. --[[Joey]]
