Appending rather than overwriting files when moving

I have the following directory structure:

+-archive
  +-a
    +-data.txt
  +-b
    +-data.txt 
+-incoming
  +-a
    +-data.txt
  +-c
    +-data.txt

How do I do the equivalent of mv incoming/* archive/ but have the contents of the files in incoming appended to those in archive rather than overwrite them?
