When installing from a rockspec that checks out from a git repository, 
LuaRocks removes the '.git' subfolder breaking the cloned git repository.  
This is a problem when there are submodules in a parent git repository that 
need to be pull into during build.

I have a fork of the lua-http-parser [1] project that I was testing some 
changes on when I ran into this problem.  It seems that this wasn't a problem 
with LuaRocks 2.0.4, it only started happening with 2.0.4.1.

Why is the '.git' subfolder removed?
