The first patch was previously posted here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-December/msg00018.html
That patch hasn't changed except that I made the ‘input_transport’
variable type-safe.
The second patch adds a significant new mode for liberating data from
VMware: the ability to copy VMs over SSH directly from ESXi
hypervisors. Although this requires enabling SSH access (a check-box
in the vSphere UI), it is fast, very convenient and doesn't require
any proprietary drivers.
Rich.
