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?
