I implemented --append in
https://code.launchpad.net/~bzr-fastimport/+junk/fast-import-append .

I thought that I'd like to add some validation that appended imports
are really incremental changes to already imported revisions.
However, it's not obvious that the fast-import format requires that
streams contain any information that could be used to guarantee a user
is doing the right thing.  Thoughts?
