Looking at this, I was confused as I wrote it...

For a v2 snapshot, we iterate across snapshot ids in
the context, and fetch the name for each.  Only
when we find the name that matches the one sought
do we know which id it's associated with.

Anyway, once we know the id it's a direct query
for all the other info.
