Currently I am utilizing the CommonsChunkPlugin to separate my vendor bundle (/node_modules/), from my main application bundle. This works great.
I was originally hoping this would mean that if a change is made to my application code, a 're-packing' would be faster as the vendor bundle is separate and would not re-pack (and rarely changing).
It looks like a change to my application code also creates a new vendor bundle (when I am using watch mode or the dev server). Is there a way to configure things to be smart and detect only application bundle changes were made and not re-pack the vendor bundle?
