Description Jiri Klimes 2015-11-05 11:24:05 UTC 
A command to clone/copy a connection is very useful, either for testing purposes, or in production to clone an existing connection, modify it and use for a new situation.

Synopsis:
  nmcli connection clone [--temporary] [id|uuid|path] <ID> <new name>
    
Example:
  $ nmcli con clone main-eth second-eth
  $ nmcli con mod second-eth connection.interface-name em4
Comment 1 Jiri Klimes 2015-11-05 11:25:00 UTC 
Find the implementation in branch jk/nmcli-con-clone
Comment 2 Beniamino Galvani 2015-11-13 13:36:53 UTC 
Both idea and implementation LGTM.
