I believe that forces a delta file to merge in with its base. Definately not 
the same as relocation.

Example:
delta1.img and delta2.img are both based on /root/base1.img. The directory's
getting crowded, so you want to move base1.img into /root/qemu/base1.img.
But once you do that, delta1 and delta2 can't find it. So how is it possible
to have a relocated base1.img without merging either delta1 or delta2, which
are mutually exclusive?

Thanks
