Why not look into the FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher which can be
executed from tycho:

https://docs.sonatype.org/display/TYCHO/Tycho-extras+-+FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher

Its possible to specify the append option:

				<configuration>
						<compress>false</compress>
                                                <append>true</append>
						<!-- additional arguments example
							<additionalArgs>-configs win32.win32.x86</additionalArgs>
						-->
				</configuration>

which adds the bundles/features to the existing repo - without wiping
existing bundles/features. Notice that the generated repo cannot be
seen from eclipse update manager (no categories are published). But
its a valid p2 repo when building with tycho.
