[Users] export VM

Hi all,

I see that exporting a VM with ThinProvisioning will make an image with the
full disk size, instead of the currently used size:
- VM has a 20GB disk
- installed OS is taking 1.3GB
- exported disk is taking 20GB

Is this mandatory? Couldn't the export make a file with the same size, also
sparse? It seems it only does a copy of the folder and the normal linux cp
can make a sparse copy.

thank  you,
Cristian Falcas
