The ``copyFile()`` function and the ``File.copyFile()`` method use
PyTables' own methods of copying nodes, so you may rest assured that the
most recent changes to the file are copied to the new file, since no new
processes are spawned.
By the way, there is a ``ptrepack`` script in PyTables which does the
same job as ``h5repack``, but adds some PyTables-specific goodies to the
process. (This script does not use ``h5repack`` either.)
