      mongorestore restores all data from a mongodump (with --oplog) as well as replays the oplog that acrued while the mongodump was being performed (e.g. dump/oplog.bson); there should be an option to just restore the oplog dumped as a result of using --oplog. This would allow increased control over the --oplogLimit flag; one can restore incremental parts of the oplog saved since the mongodump.

      • users would like to do a MongoRestore based on the full backup and then potentially multiple incrementals via oplog; the --oplogLimit flag should continue to allow the "apply all oplog entries up until x time" for all of the provided incremental oplog files.
      • "x time" may be any time point (when the incremental backup of oplog is taken) between the last full dump and the present time.
