git clone changes file modification time

Question

When I clone a git repository using \"git clone ...\" command all cloned files in my local repository have the same modification time with date and time when

Answer 1

You can retrieve the last modification date of all files in a git repository. (lat commit time) https://serverfault.com/q/401437/267639

Then use touch command change the modification date.

git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | while read filename; do 
  unixtime=$(git log -1 --format="%at" -- "${filename}")
  touchtime=$(date -d @$unixtime +'%Y%m%d%H%M.%S')
  touch -t ${touchtime} "${filename}"
done

Thanks to P. T. for your comment.
I've updated the answer and gist to support filenames with space.
