Yes and no. It can, but not if the while stream changes because of
stream compression. rsync has special support for gzip for this
reason, but probably not bzip2. Anyway why are we asking about
compressed files? The uncompressed cvs tree should be synced, not
tarred snapshots of it. Otherwise you defeat the whole purpose of
using rsync.
