The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
'qemu-img snapshot' allows new snapshot to be created with the name of
an existing snapshot
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
qemu-img _may_ be working as designed, but it feels like this could be
a bug. I'd certainly prefer to only allow unique snapshot names
(unless maybe something like a "--force-non-unique-snapshot-names" was
also specified).
If this really is correct behaviour, it should be documented as qemu-
img(1) currently specifies no details whatsoever regarding expected
behaviour or valid snapshot names.
$ qemu-img snapshot -l image.cow
$ qemu-img snapshot -c foo image.cow
$ qemu-img snapshot -l image.cow

Note also how snapshot deletion works in reverse order - the oldest
snapshot with a given name is deleted first.
