Applied and very useful, thanks!

By "cobbler reposync test repo names", Ben means that you can list repos 
that you want to explictly sync on the command line, without having to 
sync everything.  
There isn't a command called "test repo names" :)

As an example, basically "cobbler reposync fc6i386updates 
fc6x8664updates" would sync both sets of updates for fc6, and leave out 
f7.   You can sync as few or as
many repos as you like.

If you only want to edit a certain repo sporadically (say a repo for 3rd 
party drivers or ISV software, or a mirror of some RPMs your company has 
produced internally), "repo edit --name=foo --keep-updated=False" will 
do the trick, and "cobbler reposync foo" will still force it to sync 
when needed.
