pass / gnupg is caching?

[Matthias Apitz]

I'm using the 'pass' command of password-store for all my stored
credentials. While looking for some other problem I detected that it
seems that gnupg (used by pass to decrypt the credentials) is storing
the result of decryption somehow, at least it does not do again a read
access to the file of the stored secret. In both cases I was asked for
the PIN to unlock the OpenPGP card:

$ ls -lu .password-store/test.gpg
-rw------- 1 purism purism 585 Nov 26 14:45 .password-store/test.gpg

$ pass test
secret
$ ls -lu .password-store/test.gpg
-rw------- 1 purism purism 585 Jan  8 13:27 .password-store/test.gpg

$ pass test
secret
$ ls -lu .password-store/test.gpg
-rw------- 1 purism purism 585 Jan  8 13:27 .password-store/test.gpg

i.e. the 2nd time does not modify the read access time of the file. Why?

Thanks
