"limitations: only sequential writes supported" means "File appends or overwrite are not supported" ?

Tried to append to a file in the mounted dir(e.g echo "hello">>testfile) ,failed. Error msg "write error: Operation not supported ". IF File appends or overwrite are not supported now ,do we have a plan to support this in the furture release. Thx!

Hi, is there any plan to implement append operation? (like for example s3fs simulates by downloading the entire file locally, doing the append and re-uploading). It would be great to me as I would like to use mounted folders with goofys to manage git repos but unfortunatelly git operations like commit use append mode and form the second commit onward they will fail. I'm currently falling back to s3fs but the average difference in speed in my case is more than 5x with goofys, so it's a pity I cannot use it. (BTW, thanks for your great work!)
