We can keep a hash (e.g., md5, sha) of the repository metadata file. chicken-setup always downloads the hash file (which is small) and compares with the local copy. If the remote and local hashes are different, chicken-setup fetches the remote (most recent) repository metadata file and its hash. If the remote and the local hash are the same, chicken-setup uses the local metadata file.
