pass / gnupg is caching?

Hi Matthias,

I don't think that pass as a shell script caches anything.  Neither does
gpg.  I think you need to have "strictatime" in the mount options to get
accurate atimes.  The default seems to be "relatime" (Access time is
only updated if the previous access time was earlier than the current
modify or change time).
