Script Preparation code:

var MergeState = (function () {
        function MergeState() {
            this.writeVersion = 0;
            this.deepInspect = false;
        }
        MergeState.prototype.derive1 = function () {
            var ret = new MergeState();
            ret.writeVersion = this.writeVersion;
            ret.deepInspect = this.deepInspect;
            return ret;
        };
        MergeState.prototype.derive2 = function () {
            var ret = {};
            Object.setPrototypeOf(ret, this);
            return ret;
        };
        return MergeState;
    }());

var base = new MergeState();

Tests:

Manual clone
var der = base.derive1();
Prototype
var der = base.derive2();
