"r" is to restore the whole filesystem. A checkpoint file is maintained (restoresymtable I believe) that allows for restoring a full dump, then incrementals, and properly removing files that no longer existed at the time of the incremental. This is what you want to use if you are restoring the whole filesystem, especially if you need to restore a set of incrementals.
This must be a new feature of the -r option. Because no version of restore I've ever used could do that. Use to be restore would get you a superset of files, all the files, + all the deleted files picked up on the restore unless there was a name collision. Which use to cause problems when you where trying to restore an almost full disk.
