Yeah. Although you would not want to "append -C" anything but blobs.
While the tree syntax concatenates, I believe the entries are supposed
to be in sorted order, no? And you would not want to concatenate commits
at all.

I think this is wrong for the reasons above. You would not want to
concatenate a tree to a tree.
