Incremental mode implies descending into directories so it is incompatible with --no-recursion. This is so because in this mode tar needs to note all files (not necessarily actually archiving them), so that they do not get deleted when extracting from the archive. I believe tar should report usage error if --no-recursion is used with incremental option.
