What I'm trying to do and why

I'm backing up my MySQL databases using borgmatic. Borgmatic always includes the "--add-drop-database" parameter when invoking mysqldump. This is problematic for manual restores of individual databases, as this results in all grants for the said database being removed, which can result in extra manual work to restore said grants. As I would always opt for manual restoring of individual database and not use the automatic restore, I'd appreciate it if there was a way to disable the "--add-drop-database" option on the created dumps, if there is nothing speaking against that, so I don't need to remember to edit them manually before restoring.
To retain compatibility with the current version, a property like "disableDropDatabase" could be added to the yaml configuration.

Steps to reproduce (if a bug)

Include (sanitized) borgmatic configuration files if applicable.

Actual behavior (if a bug)

Include (sanitized) --verbosity 2 output if applicable.

Expected behavior (if a bug)

Other notes / implementation ideas

Add MySQL database hook "add_drop_database" configuration option to control whether dumped MySQL databases get dropped right before restore (#642).

Thanks for the suggestion! This is now implemented in master and released in borgmatic 1.7.7 via a new add_drop_database option you can set to false for a given MySQL database to support your use case.
