Question

If I have an msbuild target that just copies changed files, why would incremental building be better than just using the Copy task and setting SkipUnchangedFiles = true?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Who said it would be?

The only reason I can think of would be if you extended your target later on to perform other tasks then just copying.
