Just to make sure we are on the same page.

I know that we run this at the beginning of the suitea single test  
which is run by do_test.

The suggestion Grant had that I was proposing was that when an entire  
suite is run having the option of stoping and restarting chandler  
with a fresh repository in between each test in the suite. Sorry if  
that wasn't clear.

Also, I'm suggesting this as an _option_, not the default run process  
for a functional suite. There is more value, in my opinion, in  
running the entire suite on the same repository in the same chandler  
instance, but I think this option could help for debugging.
