[lxc-devel] current git: lxc-start now requires -f ?

It looks like b0691f8179557405fe1c8ac4b9fc458ea1bff954
or 488624016575d092d56211347b2bbe8367cd339a broke `lxc-start -n'
without -f.  Ie, lxc-start now only uses -n (--name) for runtime
information (name of cgroup and the like), but not for config
file.  And now it is required to specify -f together with -n.

Is it intentional or - at least for compatibility - we should
still read /var/lib/lxc/$name/conf?

Maybe if no -f given, look in /etc/lxc/$name.conf and use that
if exists?

Thanks!
