It would be great to have an R package for ashlar, just as static site generators like Jekyll and Octopress. Template + Functions. Functions such as ashlar_init(), ashlar_make(), ashlar_publish(), can be provided to avoid tedious manual update etc.
Just seeing this now. But yes, exactly. The successor to ashlar is the R package workflowr, which aims to automate this process as much as possible. And yes, git2r is very helpful :-)

RStudio Addins will also be helpful to make it more available to users if they use RStudio.
