Yes, --whole-file still shouldn't send matching files.   If you ran
over ssh you would be able to use ps to see what options were passed
on the remote command line.   If you are poking around in the code,
maybe you could find a way to turn off the automatically added
--ignore-times that is added to full runs.   That would make it go as
fast as incrementals, at the expense of a little safety.
