It does not pull the full file list.  It updates the timestamps
for a set of files (which can be up to the full file list, but
not necissarily.  It depends on a number of issues with the update).
Pulling the timestamps for the files is 4 bytes per file plus the
file name, which comes to about (worst case, again there are a 
number of variables that determine which files get updated) 15KB of 
compressed data per Tree.  
This problem manifests its self by displaying the list of file
names leading people to believe the entire list is being updated
when it actuality it is not.

I won't comment on whether or not this justifies an update, I'd
just like fink-core to have the complete details when making their
decision.
