Description
**Describe the feature request**
It seems that cabal always re-downloads import files, which is silly for e.g. Stackage (the suggested use in the manual) because snapshots are immutable. For the cases where they aren't, an `If-Modified-Since` header would avoid doing a full download when the upstream is unchanged.
