Description

Touching the project index.html file does not rebuild the application when using ng build --watch.
It does rebuild when using ng serve.

Using ng build -c development --watch doesn't make a difference.

Minimal Reproduction

Create new workspace with ng new someapp, choose default settings.
Run cd someapp && ng build --watch and wait for build to finish.
In a separate terminal run touch src/index.html. Observe no rebuild is happening.
Whereas touching index.html when using ng serve does cause a rebuild.
