The first time you run `twitter-to-sqlite user-timeline db.db username` we want to fetch as many tweets from that user as possible - probably around 3,200 before the API limitations cut us off. We need to record the maximum ID from those as the `since_id` - which we will see on the very first page we paginate through. That way next time we run the command with `--since` we will only fetch new tweets. But what happens if our initial import is cancelled after only a few tweets? We risk never pulling in the rest of the tweets. Not sure if I need to solve this at all or if I should instead trust users to run the command a second time without `--since` if they think they didn't retrieve anything the first time. I had considered letting `--stop_after=` over-ride `--since` but that doesn't actually make sense - if you send a since_id to the Twitter API you'll never get back more tweets than exist after that ID, so the `--stop_after` would not make a meaningful difference.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-607003655,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,607003655,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNzAwMzY1NQ==,9599,2020-04-01T03:18:00Z,2020-04-01T03:18:00Z,MEMBER,I've got this working for the `user-timeline` command.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-607010634,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,607010634,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNzAxMDYzNA==,9599,2020-04-01T03:45:16Z,2020-04-01T03:45:16Z,MEMBER,"OK, fix is applied to everything now.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760,
