      A customer ran a command something like this:

      mongorestore --uri "mongodb+srv://user:password@example.mongodb.net"  --nsInclude="DB.fooHistory" --nsFrom="DB.fooHistory" --nsTo="DB.fooHistoryTest"  path/to/dump/

      This resulted in this error:

      Failed: restore error: timeseries collection DB.fooHistory already exists on the destination. You must remove this collection from the destination or use --drop

      However, it should not error because the DB.fooHistoryTest does not exist.

      The collection in question was a timeseries collection, but it's not clear if this issue only happens with timeseries collections.

      We should investigate and fix this issue.
