Yes, resume has always been supported. When the client starts or resumes an 
upload, it first asks how big the file is server-side, and then uploads 
starting from there. This is because if the connection drops, the client 
can't know how much data actually reached the server.

Since changeset 18605, "if we've already queried the file size and haven't 
uploaded any additional bytes, don't query the file size again", which helps 
with server load quite a bit.
