      Someone asked if repair can automatically clear the lock file. Do we want to implement that?

      aaron-staples-macbook-pro:mongo3 aaron$ ./mongod --repair

                                • old lock file: /data/db/mongod.lock. probably means unclean shutdown
                                  recommend removing file and running --repair
                                  see: http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/repair for more information
