I don't know about that. You may be thinking on dumps made using the
previous dump. Only new data is retrieved, but the result is a full
dump, too. There are also the new split dumps, but they aren't incremental.

It would require the new dump to delete previous entries: Pages deleted,
revisions oversighted, articles renamed...
