cargo doc doesn't pick up changes to modules

[SergioBenitez]

I have a project that's structured as follows:

src/
    lib.rs
    module.rs

In lib.rs, I have:

mod module

The git status is:

Changes not staged for commit:

	deleted:    src/module.rs

Untracked files:

	src/module.rs

This git status arose from deleting module.rs and then renaming a file to module.rs.

When I make changes to lib.rs and run cargo doc, updated documentation is generated. However, if I make changes to module.rs and run cargo doc, documentation is unchanged. The correct thing, of course, is for cargo doc to have picked up the changes. I presume something is going on with how cargo is treating files that git believes are "deleted".

Thanks, but should be filed under rust-lang/cargo.

@sanmai-NL Thanks, you're absolutely right. Opened rust-lang/cargo#3703.
