23798	"Improve ""static"" template tag to generate staticfiles revision"	Alexey Zankevich	nobody	"Currently ""static"" template tag generates a link without revision, however it would be a good mechanism to force udpate static files on client side.

Current implementation:
{% static ""path/to/file.js"" %} -> /static/path/to/file.js

Proposal:
{% static ""path/to/file.js"" %} -> /static/path/to/file.js?<revision> 

where <revision> defined as STATIC_REVISION variable in settings. If STATIC_REVISION is not defined, ""static"" tag will failback to the current behavoir. 

I can make a fix if it's considered as a good idea."	New feature	closed	contrib.staticfiles	dev	Normal	wontfix	templatetags staticfiles		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
