Contributions summary:Manuel implemented support for linked clones in the VirtualBox provider of the Vagrant project. This involved creating mechanisms to import a master VM, create linked clones from it, and handle related actions. They also introduced locking to prevent concurrent master VM creation and updated the codebase to support VirtualBox 5.0. Additionally, the user addressed race conditions in lock file deletion, increasing the stability of the cloning process.
