Run a quick check to see if the latest remote ref on <user/repo#master> is newer than what we have locally. Only if it's more recent, begin downloading the archive.
Requires saving/storing the last-used ref locally.

No files or tests are named. Locate the entry point that checks the remote master ref and starts archive downloads, then trace how local state is stored; done means a newer remote ref triggers a download while an unchanged ref does not.
