Describe the bug

According to the docs, when you add narHash to a fetchTree call, the result won't be fetched if it's already available: 864fc85fc8/src/libexpr/primops/fetchTree.cc (L218)

Well, that's not happening.

Steps To Reproduce

The 1st time you fetch, it downloads ✅:

➤ nix eval --no-eval-cache --debug --expr 'builtins.fetchTree {type="github"; owner="OCA"; repo="account-analytic"; rev="bc8dbde0477634d64915d027093756defcf0ebc3"; narHash="sha256-sD75xS86JRr7q1be+U8FMI7ijDj4tgexlyNGVEa8fpc=";}'

The next time you download, it says "using cache entry". That's suspicious 🕵️‍♂️. It shouldn't need any cache because there's a narHash parameter passed:

➤ nix eval --no-eval-cache --debug --expr 'builtins.fetchTree {type="github"; owner="OCA"; repo="account-analytic"; rev="bc8dbde0477634d64915d027093756defcf0ebc3"; narHash="sha256-sD75xS86JRr7q1be+U8FMI7ijDj4tgexlyNGVEa8fpc=";}'

performing daemon worker op: 26
{ lastModified = 1697447248; lastModifiedDate = "20231016090728"; narHash = "sha256-sD75xS86JRr7q1be+U8FMI7ijDj4tgexlyNGVEa8fpc="; outPath = "/nix/store/q3fw9j28hdlyal51xgqlrac9vcb59p2f-source"; rev = "bc8dbde0477634d64915d027093756defcf0ebc3"; shortRev = "bc8dbde"; }

Let's remove cache and retry. We can see how fetches again. ❌ It shouldn't!:

➤ rm -rf ~/.cache/nix

➤ nix eval --no-eval-cache --debug --expr 'builtins.fetchTree {type="github"; owner="OCA"; repo="account-analytic"; rev="bc8dbde0477634d64915d027093756defcf0ebc3"; narHash="sha256-sD75xS86JRr7q1be+U8FMI7ijDj4tgexlyNGVEa8fpc=";}'

Expected behavior

When calling with a NAR hash, it shouldn't need to even check the cache. Nix should just check the store and skip the fetching/caching completely.

nix-env --version output
nix-env (Nix) 2.18.1

Additional context

This might be duplicate of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9077 or https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9570, but I'm not sure so I open separately.
