-For oci.v1 format, you need to specify --oci-name because an OCI archive contains image refs (tags)

+For OCI v1, you may need to specify --base-name because an OCI archive
+contains only partial image references (tags without the base image name).
+If no base image name is provided, a name will be generated as "import-%{date}".
