facetization process.

+ <title>Reset CM state of a subset of objects.</title>
+ <para>
+ Use search -exec to reset just the continuation method flag (will
result in resume
+ retrying CM on all missing objects, without triggering the full retry
of all methods
+ entailed by the --retry option.) More targeted searches can do this
reset for more
+ narrow subsets of the .g database.
