preserve mtime of local clone
A local clone without hardlinks copies all objects, including dangling ones, to the new repository. Since the mtimes are renewed, those dangling objects cannot be pruned by "git gc --prune", even if they would have been old enough for pruning in the original repository. Instead, preserve mtime during copy. "git gc --prune" will then work in the clone just like it did in the original.
