One patch from v2 has already been committed. This patch additionally
adds a qemu implementation for the new flag, and I have tested creation
of offline branches (I still need to test creation of a branch from a
disk-only or online external snapshot). I've also started documenting
my plans for a new revert FOLLOW flag, which updates to the current
state of external files (rather than reverting completely to the
point where the snapshot was taken); once that is working, then
implementing the combination of createXML(LIVE|BRANCH) will really
be creating the branch, then farming out to revert(FOLLOW) to switch
over to the new branch.

snapshot: add revert-and-create branching of external snapshots
snapshot: prepare to parse new XML
snapshot: actually compute branch definition from XML
snapshot: support revert-and-create branching in qemu
snapshot: add another revert API flag
Hi Eric,
this code has been buried long enough so that it doesn't apply. I'm
reviving my snapshot patches and would like to integrate this
functionality too. If you happen to have the branch still in you repo,
could you please push it somewhere so git can help me while rebasing.
Thanks
Peter
