I am not 100% confident, but I suspect the problem is that you copied
without keeping the original creation dates on the files.
Sphinx is comparing the new dates of the RST files to the new dates of the
HTML files: If the date of an RST file is newer than the date a generated
HTML, Sphinx will assume that the HTML file older than the RST and needs to
be regenerated.
If you are on a Linux system, you could issue a command from the root
directory of your project like:
find . -name "*.html" -exec touch {} +
This would search all subdirectories for HTML files and "touch" them
without changing anything, which forces the dates to be set to "now".
Then:
touch filename.rst
for each of the "few modified files" so that their date is newer than the
HTML files. Now, MOST of the RST files will be "older" than the HTML files
and the system will see no need to regenerate them.
