1.2.2rc1 performs better, but still isn't optimal.

write(3, "GET /arch/xtla/.listing HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:

I don't know whether this is an artefact of strace, but it seems
/arch/xtla/.listing is downloaded twice, I don't think
checksum.cacherev is necessary, and patch-100/.listing could probably
be downloaded only in case of diagnosis necessity. Not sure
=meta-info/mirror is necessary either.

Continue the good work :-)
