[Ovirt-devel] permit many-to-many vms / networks relationship redux
redux patchset permitting a vm to be associated with multiple networks and vice-versa. updated patchset so as to be applicable against current oVirt server HEAD these patches may be applied in any order, they all need to be pushed together
