Description
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/restore-replica-set-from-backup/
The second step where you start the instance as a standalone and then shut it down doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I think this is a vestigial artifact of a previous version where we had people do something to set minValid so that copying data files wouldn't trigger resyncs, but there may have been a regression.
I think on the whole, the use of multiple sequences here is confusing, and we should try and reform this so that there's a single sequence of steps.
