This makes sync a lot faster in the common case where there's no new
backup.
There's still room for it to be faster. Currently the old imported tree
has to be traversed, to generate the ImportableContents. Which then
gets turned around to generate the new imported tree, which is
identical. So, it would be possible to just return a "no new imports",
or an ImportableContents that has a way to graft in a tree. The latter
is probably too far to go to optimise this, unless other things need it.
The former might be worth it, but it's already pretty fast, since git
ls-tree is pretty fast.
