grunt-smart-copy v0.1.0
grunt-smart-copy
Copy files and folders when the content has really changed based on a md5-hash. In the future this can be extended with other checks. This can come in handy together with the live reload task of grunt-contrib-watch. Somethimes a new file is generated which is identically the same as the previous one and is triggering a live-reload while it isn't needed.
Getting Started
