Just for grins, what happens if we extend that transaction to 
additionally call:

        { "type": "block-dirty-bitmap-disable",
          "data": { "node": "drive0", "name": "bitmapC" }},
        { "type": "block-dirty-bitmap-enable",
          "data": { "node": "drive0", "name": "bitmapC" }}

Yes, we have a redundancy where plain '-add' coupled with '-disable' in 
a transaction does the same as '-add' with 'enabled':false.  And I'd 
rather keep 'enabled':false as part of '-add', as it's handy to do that 
without having to code up a transaction.  But the specific act of 
toggling the enabled bit twice on a brand new bitmap as part of the same 
transaction, while unlikely to be done by libvirt, may still prove to be 
a useful validation of our transaction semantics.

You'll want to fix that.

I'm against. query-block prints a lot of unrelated things, which may change from
version to version (for example, Andrey is now adding bitmap information to qcow2
format-specific info), then, backported test may fail for previous versions (or just
different config) because of something absolutely unrelated to bitmaps.

I think, it should be shortened to result[0]['device'], result[0]['dirty-bitmaps']

And, I think, any way it would be good to create a separate helper for printing
current state of bitmaps (which may output their sha256 too)

why not just
log('\n--- Disabling B & Adding C ---\n')

[...]

Otherwise, the test looks fine for me

Now that you've pointed it out, I have to. :)

OK. I want more tests, too; mostly around malformed requests (bad
target, single bad source, multiple bad sources, mixed bad sources).
your suggestion to merge self into self,
and maybe anything else I've forgotten by now.

You have a point. I'm only interested in the bitmap info structures, here.

OK, let me look at printing something like

{
  "device0": bitmapInfo0,
  "device1": bitmapInfo1,
  ...
}

to the log.

Yeah, I was working on a command to do just this but I ran into troubles
with caching the bitmap info for computing it and wound up shelving the
series and I got sidetracked on other issues...

Just preference, there's no reason.

I have a habit of avoiding pre-pending control characters to string
lines, but don't have an aversion to appending them.

I can change it if it sticks out as too unusual.
