I was just in the middle of setting up a command to do this sort of
thing (the existing search_index command has the ability to do
something like this).

The one issue is you may not wish to flood the main queue with these
notifications ....

I'm not sure you always need to simulate all changes until now -- just
send out current HEAD.

The real issue here is that you don't want to notify everything --
just, in your example, the new mongo db.
