XXCOPY (not XCOPY ) does  afair job of this. You have to run it on 
each occasion but this can be automated easily enough.

Unfortunately, for jpg photos, if you rotate the image, which simply 
alters the rotate bit, it sees the file as having changed and will 
rewrite the old image from source. But, for many purposes it works 
well.
