v4 was here:

In v5:
- fix 'qemu-img convert -B' to actually warn [Kashyap]
- squash in followups
- a couple more iotest improvements
If we decide this is not 5.0 material, then patches 4 and 7 need a
tweak to s/5.0/5.1/ as the start of the deprecation clock.
Ping. I've already made the 5.1 change in my local tree, does anyone
want to review the rest of this series before I post a v6?
Eric Blake (7):
sheepdog: Add trivial backing_fmt support
vmdk: Add trivial backing_fmt support
qcow: Tolerate backing_fmt=, but warn on backing_fmt=raw
qcow2: Deprecate use of qemu-img amend to change backing file
iotests: Specify explicit backing format where sensible
block: Add support to warn on backing file change without format
qemu-img: Deprecate use of -b without -F
