Use Mercurial commit to determine page date =========================================== If your blog content is versioned via Mercurial, this plugin will set articles' and pages' ``metadata['date']`` to correspond to that of the hg commit. This plugin depends on the ``hglib`` python package, which can be installed via:: sudo apt-get install python-hglib or:: pip install hglib The date is determined via the following logic: * if a file is not tracked by hg, or a file is added but never committed - metadata['date'] = filesystem time - metadata['modified'] = filesystem time * if a file is tracked, but no changes in working directory - metadata['date'] = first commit time - metadata['modified'] = last commit time * if a file is tracked, and has changes in working directory - metadata['date'] = first commit time - metadata['modified'] = filesystem time When this module is enabled, ``date`` and ``modified`` will be determined by hg status; no need to manually set in article/page metadata. And operations like copy and move will not affect the generated results. If you don't want a given article or page to use the hg time, set the metadata to ``hgtime: off`` to disable it. You can also set ``HG_FILETIME_FOLLOW`` to ``True`` in your settings to make the plugin follow file renames — i.e., ensure the creation date matches the original file creation date, not the date it was renamed. Credits ======= This plugin is based on filetime_from_git.
