Vuepress: "Last updated" feature is coupled to Git

[inosik]

The "Last updated" feature implemented in #282 is tightly coupled to Git.

• It assumes Git is installed.

• It assumes the project uses Git. The process will crash if the directory is not a Git repository. This is a serious issue if you're just starting out with documentation in a new directory or if you (have to) use something other than Git.

Thanks for reporting for that.

And I also concerned for that. since I believed that most of users use git so I let it go, but it's truly a potential problem, I will disable it by default.

BTW, we will make this feature as a plugin in the future.

BTW, You have been saying this question so early 😅 we even haven't released it yet. awesome !

@ulivz What about using mtime from fs.stat() by default (because its always available) and make using the Git last modified timestamp an option?
