How does rsync deal with insertions in the middle
of a big file?

For example, assuming each letter below represents
a block of data within a file, if the original file
changed from:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZA

to:

ABCDEFGHI123JKLMNOPQ456RSTUVWXYZA


Will rsync be efficient enough to just somehow
'insert' 123 and 456 within the file or will it
modify/try to backup all the blocks from 123 onwards?
