All right, I think this is the best we can do. The latest logic copies the
file if the source's last-modified time is >= the target's last-modified time,
or if the file sizes are different. At the time the file gets copied, the
target's last-modified time gets set to the current time, so it is greater than
the source's time until the source gets modified again.
This should work fine with hooks, because a hook that modifies a file is
likely to change the size, or if it doesn't change the size then the hook is
likely to handle the file not being refreshed. One could contrive an artificial
scenario in which the right thing doesn't happen, but in practice I don't think
there would be any issues. And still there will be the 'clean' functionality to
fall back on.
