[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/3] qemu-img: Allow rebase with no input base

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

Currently, without -u, you cannot add a backing file to an image when it
currently has none:

$ qemu-img rebase -b base.qcow2 foo.qcow2
qemu-img: Could not open old backing file '': The 'file' block driver
requires a file name

It is really simple to allow this, though (effectively by setting
old_backing_size to 0), so this patch does just that.
