I wouldn't call it graceful, exactly, but you should be able to preserve
state by running sup-dump on the original source, drop the index (move
your ~/.sup/ferret directory somewhere else), edit your source.yaml
file, and use sup-sync --restored --restore <dumpfile> to scan over the
new source and restore the state for each message.
It will take a while. Try it on a subset of messages first if possible
to make sure it's working. Post any questions and I'll try and help you.
