It's not the referenced commit in Swift (https://github.com/openstack/swift/commit/215cd551df8be066edafd2a1e16d0bd143ec214b). All that one does is get a little fancier with tarball parsing.

Swift stores all sorts of things in xattrs, including object name, md5sum, upload time, content type, user metadata, and system metadata. All these things get jammed into a single dictionary, pickled, and saved in xattrs. If xattr isn't working, Swift won't work.

Besides, the referenced commit only affects bulk uploads (i.e. multiple files in an .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.bz2), which Glance doesn't use.
