Download only metainfo about mcz when selected

Hi Jan,

It is not possible with the mcz format, because you have to open the zip
file to recover the metadata.

Given the formats used, to just read the last commit message, you will read
the entire history instead of just the last one.

Hi Peter, this requires loading the mcz, and it doesn't gives you the repository contents, but the current package version history.

It could easily be (I believe it is) since selecting a mcz in the inspector loads it with its history (except with gitfiletree).
