[Migration] filetime_from_hg

[vishwin]

I'd like to migrate this plugin out of this monorepo into the pelican-plugins org, to at the very least serve as a place for continued development and maintenance. I've already created a repo using the CookieCutter, with the history from here git-filter-branch(1)ed out plus a bugfix commit from me, ready to transfer into the org.

thanks, looks fine to me, do you need any help from me?

@douardda I guess you were CCed because @vishwin identified you as the original author of the plugin.

Looking around I can't unseen the existence of filetime_from_git plugin. @vishwin : what's the effort to merge the two?

[vishwin]

My last comment, now deleted, misspoke as I read that as filetime_from_hg. filetime_from_git is a completely different implementation. This plugin is as simple/short as it is because we use python-hglib from the official Mercurial project, and merging with the other plugin would introduce unnecessary complexities, not least of juggling two different library imports. I also don't personally use the other plugin. Thus, there is no effort to merge the two.

My CC was more of asking the original author for some tacit approval.

I agree that merging both the plugins would make things unnecessarily complex, even if they share some code (obviously, since filetime_from_hg has been written from filetime_from_git, as I mentioned in the README file IIRC) .
