Then the doc has been misleading all this time - "regenerating" the
index sounds like cleaning away any junk too.  So I suggest a louder
change:  Add a non-truncate option too, and warn if neither option is
used.  And a note in back-bdb(5) that removing (and maybe re-adding)
an index with cn=config does not clean away old index data.
