But doing commit from a sandbox destroys the original file dates....

That's your problem - you can't do a repeated import on a source tree 
without a vendor branch, as the merging that import does depends on it 
(it's an assumption that can't be easily removed either).

If you're not using vendor branches then just copy the files over the 
top and use commit/add/remove.
