a lot of speedup (esp. for slow connections to remote repositories) for:
the previous method used metadata from the archive itself, which is (in total) rather large.
so if you had many archives and a slow (remote) connection, it was very slow.
but there is a lot easier way: just use the archives list from the repository manifest - we already
have it anyway and it also has name, id and timestamp for all archives - and that's all we need.
I defined a ArchiveInfo namedtuple that has same element names as seen as attribute names
of the Archive object, so as long as name, id, ts is enough, it can be used in its place.
