If you're not doing any change you're not creating copyright because there's 
nothing being created, so yes i would not agree on updating the copyright if 
you don't change anything.

Also remember that you don't *need* to really write that you have copyright on 
things, you create copyright by just creating the things, the copyright notices 
are a nicety not really a requirement if you have other things like git that 
can prove who and when something was created [*]

Cheers,
  Albert

something in court
