Good catch.
Tridge suggested the other day that it's bad to make -W the default
for local transfers, because it makes behaviour kind of less
reproducible: people who test rsync locally will see possibly
different bugs when running it over the network. I'm inclined to
agree, but I'm not sure.

Aack, I just noticed that the --whole-file option was accidentally changed
to --whole when the option parsing mechanism was switched to popt before
rsync 2.5.0. I just put a fix into the rsync CVS, but anybody who wants
that option to work with all versions of rsync is going to have to use -W
