I personally prefer avoid copying files whenever possible (except backup 
).
If it's not some sort of backup solution then just an idea: one can use os.walk() to hardlink destination to same file in source. If file in source is changed the hardlink should hold (keeps same inode number on *nix and the file index on Windows). If file renaming occur then based on os.stat() attribute st_ino one should be able to update the filename. os.stat() should be cheaper than actual copying of files.
