It would be good to add tests to Makefile to cover --append functionality. #264 made me realize there wasn't a test already covering any --append functionality, let alone --append with --input-file. The first step is to test the first run. This will not be testing the actual replication.
Testing the effect of replication (e.g. data tests) seems like it will be more challenging, there's a limit to how old the original file can be (vaguely remember 60 days?).
