[Engine-devel] 'Import VM/Template More Than Once' feature

[Gilad Chaplik]

I think that the necessity of this feature is a from UX point of view:
Avoiding the nasty can-do-action if the VM is in the system, and adding an important flow to the user.

Anyhow I think it's a light feature with minimum changes to the backend, most of the work is in the ui.

Thanks, 
Gilad.
