A pull walked every held artifact in persistStore, reading each once from the lazy disk-backed holdings store just to early-return it: 194s of a 197s no-op pull at 1.25M artifacts, reconstructing nothing. Received artifacts are appended beyond the holdings' log-backed prefix, so persist now begins the walk there and processes only the received set. A no-op pull persists nothing; an incremental pull persists what it received, not the millions it already holds. No-op pkgsrc pull 209s to 7s. check-in: a25dcf28f5 user: dmestas tags: trunk
