Note also that your reference is the last full backup, not necessarily
the 'last' backup, so a file that is changed or added in one
incremental will still be changed/new in subsequent incrementals (and
thus copied but matched in the pool) until another full run rebuilds
the base.  Unless you are doing incremental levels.
