Bug Description

$ sudo lxc-copy -n adt-wily -e
Created adt-wily as clone of adt-wily_1WtXPo

This should say "Created adt-wily_1WtXPo as a clone of adt-wily". This might seem trivial, but is highly relevant when trying to parse that message to find out the cloned container name. This is still not easy at all :-(

I'm fixing the ordering now. Regarding the last part "This is still not easy at all.": Do you mean that the message should be simpler (e.g. Created adt-wily_1WtXPo)?

Well, the point is not really about "simpler", but "might change/be i18n'ed" and thus "is not predictable". However, this is really a side issue to this report. The non-machine-readability was originally bug 1197754, but it applies to lxc-copy as well. If/once the message is stable, I can parse "^Created ([^ ]+)", but this still isn't a nice API.
