Subject: [PATCH] Use `-a` when copying a directory to copy mtimes

When copying an entire directory, it's useful to maintain the individual modification times of the files and directories within. The argument `-a` maintains modification times, permissions, and enables recursive copying, whereas `-R` only copies recursively.
