Watcher doesn't detect changes to site template about gostatic HOT 4 CLOSED

Yeah, that was me being lazy. While it wasn't hard to make gostatic watch for templates (I did it in 3f8d120), it's much harder to watch for changes in config - you'll have to notice if you're reading files from wrong directory or serving them from wrong directory; basically config is almost global state in gostatic and it will require quite a bit of work to make it able reload configuration without restarting. Though I'm not sure, maybe there is a technique for graceful restarting of a process?

Plus, watching for templates is not very valuable by itself. Bigger problem is that pages have no data about how old their templates are (or even knowledge about this dependency), so they are not re-rendered when their templates change. That is obviously a deficiency that should be fixed, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to fix that. If anybody wants to improve this part, I'm all for it. :)

Thanks Alexander,

Just noticed a regression in the latest change, I've submitted #19 as a patch.

I might hack around in my fork and try to get the re-rendering when templates change, if you're open to pull requests around this functionality.

I would be glad to accept fixes for re-rendering on template change, especially if you will find a nice way to do that. :)

Ok, thanks!

I'll close this issue for now, and create a separate pull request if I can find a nice way to resolve it.
