when --verbose is on and future=false (now default), a message should be logged when a post is skipped for publishing

[untra]

Minor feature request, title says it all:

If I am running --verbose and --future is false (which is now the default), I should at least get a message in the verbose logs informing me that a post is being skipped for publishing.

IMHO, a message should be delivered if a post is skipped for future publishing, whether or not verbose is on. I intend to write a hook to do just this though.

At the very least though, if I have turned on --verbose, and my post has been skipped for publishing, I should see a message in the logs telling me the post was skipped because of the future date.

Great idea!

For verbose it's understandable and was probably an oversight, I agree, we need a fix and I'm sure @jekyll/core will agree, for non-verbose the simple answer should be "no", we don't show you when a unique post is processed when not verbose, why would we show you when a unique post is not processed when not verbose?

@envygeeks you're right about non-verbose. Still, my application needs a warning for when a blogpost is timestamped in the future and won't be published. Eh, I can write a hook to do just that. Except...

I'm having trouble writing a hook that will leave a warning about posts not being published. Presume I have a post with a future date, and --future is false. consider the following hook:

Jekyll::Hooks.register :posts, :post_init do |post|
    if post.respond_to?(:date) && post.site.future
      puts post.date
    end
end

after running this hook, the printed date on all of the posts is current timestamp. This makes sense considering the date hasn't been loaded in from the frontmatter. Frontmatter is loaded during document.read, but after reading the document with the future date, it gets kicked out of the collection by the publisher!

This means I can't write a convenient hook to look for posts with the future set. I can probably write a plugin that alias_methods collection.read to print my message, but that's a tad hacky.

edit: I got creative:

Jekyll::Hooks.register :documents, :post_init do |doc|
  doc.read
  if doc.respond_to?(:date) && !doc.site.future
    if doc.date.to_i > doc.site.time.to_i
      puts "#{doc.path} will not be published! Date #{doc.date} set after today/now!".yellow
    end
  end
end

Consider this a 👍 for a hook for after reading documents.

I thought we had processing hooks?

I was looking here for whatever hooks were available.
