It's true, existence of ID/name does determine behaviour elsewhere in the API. In this specific case, it feels a bit less intuitive; what do you think about the difference between the following two scenarios?
If user passes clone=true, and this VM doesn't already exist on the destination storage-domain, then the operation fails - makes direct sense: you wanted to clone, but this VM doesn't already exist.
If user passes name=VM1, and this VM doesn't already exist on the destination storage-domain, then the operation fails - a bit strange. The logic is more construed: you supplied a name, therefore you meant you want to clone, but this VM doesn't already exist.
it's just another import, see my other email on this with pseudocode. -- Michael Pasternak RedHat, ENG-Virtualization R&D
