Research direction

Start by locating DockerBuilder and reviewing how COPY and ADD inputs are handled. Determine how changed files are identified and verify that unchanged files are skipped while changed files are still copied; the issue names no files or tests, so the needed coverage must be located first.

Description

enhancement

To be consistent with Docker we could only COPY and ADD files if they have changed. This would be an optimisation and would be non-trivial to implement so is probably low priority.
