GitInfo/Lastmod info incorrect about justdocs

[hartzell]

I've noticed that sometimes the last mod info is correct, but not usually. I can't reproducibly cause it to be correct or out of date. Sigh...

The code that's fetching the info from the git repository is from bep/gitmap:gitmap.go. At the bottom it seems to be calling git something like so:

git -c diff.renames=0 -c log.showSignature=0 -C . log --name-only --no-merges '--format=format:%x1e%H%x1f%h%x1f%s%x1f%aN%x1f%aE%x1f%ai%x1f%ci' HEAD

and then parsing the output and building up a map of files to info. It doesn't seem wonky....

If I look through the output I don't see anything that would make it be fixated on the commit known as 52e5f1e.

Ok, mystery solved, apologies for wasting our time. Turns out that it was my mis-understanding (or perhaps two).

1. The last modified bit displays the time of the last commit, simply changing the file isn't enough to update it.
2. Committing a file is not enough to trigger hugo server to rebuild the site so even though the GitInfo is now up to date, the site I'm previewing in the browser hasn't been updated.

I'd been:

• editing a file, not seeing a change
• committing a file, not seeing a change
• sometimes restarting hugo server then seeing a change
• and etc....
