This allows to do a full (non-incremental send) and receive it as a clone
of an existing dataset. It can leverage nopwrite to share blocks with the
origin. This can be used to change the relationship of datasets on the
target. For example, maybe on the source you have:

A ---- B ---- C

And you have sent to the target a full of B, and the incremental B->C:

B ---- C

You later realize that you want to have A on the target. You will have to
do a full send of A, but nopwrite can save you space on the target if you
receive it as a clone of B, assuming that A and B have some blocks inxi
common:

B ---- C
