[Engine-devel] restapi: New params for import VM/Template

[Gilad Chaplik]

Hi All,

I am adding the ability to import a VM or a Template to a storage-domain, 
when this VM or Template already exists in the destination storage domain. 
Until now, Backend failed this. Now I want to enable the user to specify
that he wishes this VM/Template will be created again by a different name, 
i.e - cloned.

[feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/ImportMoreThanOnce]

I plan to achieve this using a new parameter, but I want to reach an agreement
about this parameter's name. I thought simply to call it "clone". 

Another thing that I'll do in the patch-set is add the currently-missing ability
to specify whether the snapshots of the VM, which is being imported, will
be collapsed into a single snapshot (we have this ability in GUI). I am also
deliberating about the name of this parameter. I thought about
"collapse_snapshots" (same as in GUI). 

Does anyone think "clone" and "collapse_snapshots" are inappropriate and has
better suggestions?

Thanks,
Gilad
