option to skip the first copy (only watch) #19

Hi, nice package. For the cpx.watch, it would be nice to be able to skip the first copy (if files are already in sync.) Maybe add an option to the watch command (nocopy)?

Thank you for this issue. I'm sorry for delay.

Interesting. A new option of watch command sounds reasonable. Maybe:

CLI: --no-initial (which set false to options.initialCopy)
Node API: options.initialCopy (default: true)

Thanks, sounds great. I would personally implement the default the other way:

CLI: --initial (which set true to options.initialCopy )
Node API: options.initialCopy (default: false) but that is a matter of taste and I can image you maybe do not want to break backwards compatibility.

I released v1.5.0 with --no-initial option. Sorry, I didn't want to make a breaking change for now.
