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.
Eric Blake (5): 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
