Clones the BuildItemGroup. A shallow clone here is one that references the same BuildItem objects as the original, whereas a deep clone actually clones the BuildItem objects as well. If this is a persisted BuildItemGroup, only deep clones are allowed, because you can't have the same XML element belonging to two parents.
