--partial not working?

[Kevin Korb]

Partial means don't delete the incomplete file.  The file is being
transferred because it doesn't match.  But rsync does delta-transfers so
it won't actually transfer the parts that match.  It will just verify
that they do match.

Unless of course --whole-file.
