The test test_import01.py can be easily broken with the following diff:

There is an existing config_compare function that is supposed to parse and compare metadata information but it does not do well with named checkpoints. It does strip out the "checkpoint" section of the metadata file in a way that is okay because the test does not contain named checkpoints. But adding one before comparing the configurations would make the test fail while it should pass.

This ticket should:

• Fix config_compare to take into account named checkpoints
• Add named checkpoints to the test to verify the fixed function works
