Modifies the restoration procedure to drop every collection from the
target database before restoring the collection from the dumped backup.

.. important::
When ``--drop`` is specified, all users are removed and replaced with
users defined in the dump file to be restored. Therefore if the user
credentials specified as arguments to :program:`mongorestore` do not
correspond to a user that exists in the dump file, the restoration process
will fail, leaving an empty database.

optional: true
