Abel, Warren,

Thanks for the quick replies! We are ok with running a script to copy
images from one glance to another. Eventual consistency is ok and we only
need this to run until we can shutdown the Essex era glance. But the
problem I have is that the glance-client doesn't give me full visibility
into an image's attributes, or the API won't let me set attributes (like
snapshot instance_uuid).

I am hoping that I'm being dumb or this is a lack of documentation issue.
