cgit and Last-Modified header

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hello,

When using remote modulesets (which has been the default behaviour for
some time already), jhbuild caches the downloaded files, and uses
Last-Modified, Expires and Etag headers for its cache strategy.

This works fine with svn http view:
  http://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk/modulesets/gnome-suites-2.26.modules
    Last-Modified: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:34:17 GMT
    ETag: "2738//trunk/modulesets/gnome-suites-2.26.modules"

but will not be really useful with cgit:
  http://git.gnome.org/cgit/preview/jhbuild/plain/modulesets/gnome-suites-2.26.modules
    Expires: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:24:05 GMT
    Last-Modified: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:19:05 GMT
(14:19 GMT being the time the request is made).

It would be really nice if Last-Modified could reflect the actual time
the file was last modified; and if Expires was not set.

Note this is not *important*, just something nice that can wait.[1]


Cheers,

        Frederic
