Subject: Add man page for lxc-clone
X-Git-Tag: lxc-0.9.0.alpha3~1^2~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11cddd70eb8c285287b73562ba4208d74e1b9fde;p=thirdparty%2Flxc.git

Add man page for lxc-clone

And doing so pointed out a bug in lxc-clone itself - it claims
default fssize is 2G.  It's not.
