Idle time in project overview

Idle time in project overview

[stefan]

I don't know if it is a bug or a feature but I think on this nice
mailing list I could ask without being shot or mutilated. :)

If I have a git repository with multiple branches and I push to another
branch as 'master' the idle time on the project overview is not updated.
I think this behaviour is not correct. When I push to another branch as
master the project is absolutely not in an idle state. I think the idle
time should be updated when I push to any branch.

This question comes up periodically.  The answer is to use a hook to
update an "agefile" on push.  The best reference is this message:

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.cgit/1059

It would be nice to have that example hook in the repository somewhere
(contrib/hooks/ ?) if someone feels like working up a patch...
