FileConsumer should allow files to be processed more than once when "noop" 
setting is used.

                 Key: CAMEL-1928
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-1928
             Project: Apache Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: camel-core
    Affects Versions: 2.0-M3
            Reporter: Alexander Lee
            Priority: Minor


If the "noop" setting is used with the FileConsumer, then this forces use of 
the idempotent repository.  This means that files are only ever picked up once. 
 While this is probably the desired behaviour for most users, it makes it 
difficult to use the files to generate events on a timed basis.   For instance, 
a file could be used to store query configuration which was read every hour and 
used to query a database, the data from which would be added to an exchange and 
sent to the next step.  In this case we don't want to delete or move the 
original file and we want to read it again.

At the moment this behaviour can be simulated by using "preMove" to move the 
file to a new extension, and then "move" to move it back.  It would be better 
if there was a way to default use of the idempotent repository as is the case 
now, but also provide a way to explicitly turn it off if required.
