Adding --uriFile argument to the cocoon cli call. This way one can set project.urifile to the uris that should be included. see http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/offline/cli.html for more information.
Does this mean that only files mention in the uriFile are generated? It's not clear in the docs.

If this is the case then we could write a script to create this uriFile from the last modified dates of files and solve the problem of regenerating every page in the content object.

Note that both of those new parameters can be specified
on a per-project basis using the Cocoon conf/cli.xconf
configuration file. For example, see site-author/conf/cli.xconf
and search for "uri-file" and "follow-links".

So I guess this is the solution you have been pointing people at. I've never used it as it is not an issue for me. However, since this is a frequent request I wonder why we do not encourage a user who does have this need to create a script to create these files as a first step on forrest run. It should be easy for anyone with a little scripting ability.
