The client doesn't examine the files, checksums are generated at both 
ends and compared. Only parts of files that differ are transferred. I 
believe this is the default but I don't quite understand why this option 
exists in that case

-c, --checksum   skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size

But there appears to be no option to switch it off. Still, I'm sure 
there's a good reason, I just haven't had to use it so far.
