Change b7e9a64416ff239a4c1b8501f398796b02c46ce7 introduced a filter_deleted flag into the metadata_to_dict utility function. Counterintuitively, when this flag is False, deleted items are excluded from the returned dict, and when the flag is True, deleted items are included. (The default setting is False, which preserves the behavior of this function before the flag was added.) This poor choice of names doesn't sound like a big deal, but there are some functions calling metadata_to_dict that are using the flag improperly (that is, they are setting filter_deleted=True in the expectation that deleted items won't be included in the output). This patch changes the name of the parameter to the more perspicuous 'include_deleted', sets the default value to False to preserve the original behavior of the function, and adds some tests. (I'll correct the functions that are using the flag incorrectly in a dependent patch.) Change-Id: I40737ebb19fb50e3f671c996a2d096996835cc68 Closes-Bug: #1496394

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
