> Preparing platforms should skip copying files which haven't changed

> Many cordova CLI commands include a "prepare" operation, including 'cordova 
> build', 'cordova run', 'cordova plugin add', and more. Every time each of 
> those commands runs, the target platform is "prepared", which involves 
> copying all files from the [<project>/www, 
> <project>/platforms/<platform>/platform_www, <project>/merges/<platform>] to 
> the platform's target www folder, as well as copying a bunch of icons and 
> splash screens to platform-specific locations.
> For the very first prepare of a platform, all that file copying is necessary. 
> But most of the time after that most of the files being copied have not 
> changed and therefore don't really need to be copied again. So the typical 
> developer inner loop (edit a few source files, build and run the app, repeat) 
> is a lot slower than it could be for a Cordova project, especially one that 
> includes a significant number of source files or resources.
> Instead, Cordova should be smart enough to skip copying of files that haven't 
> changed, based on their last-modified timestamp. (But also there should still 
> be a way to force a clean/full/non-incremental build if desired.)
