Nope, it will not, this is where you loose me. :)
When you don't reset trsf you are calculating small strain for a large transformation. That is all.
In simple shear it is convenient and common to define the accumulated shear as velGrad_xy*time.
That's why you don't need a small strain approximation of any shear component.
