### Please describe the problem.
When `git annex add` is run on dangling symlinks which point to the annex, the pre-commit hook `git annex pre-commit .` is run which, in turn, runs `git annex fix`.
During this fix, the mtime of the symlink changes. I assume the symlink is actually deleted and re-created in the background which would explain this behavior.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
[[!format sh """
# manual import of annexed data into new annex
% mkdir repo1.annex
% cd !$
% git init; git annex init

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex 4.20130709 on Debian unstable i386 and x64.
### Please provide any additional information below.
As noted in [[todo/wishlist:___96__git_annex_import__96___--_An_easy_way_to_get_data_into_an_annex/#comment-e0ea68b5f84cf4130001ad34e9f3b2ff]], `git annex import` does not seem to work on other repos which is why I tried to build this by hand. This works fine and retains mtime as long as I don't need to change the relative depth the symlinks.
I think that the issue above should be fixed in and as of itself, though.
