For a growing file, it would send however much data was in the file when
rsync checked its size.  (For a shrinking file, the version of rsync in
CVS would notice that it didn't read all the data it expected and it
would skip the file.)

Of course, running rsync again would update whatever data had changed
since the last transfer.
