I'm not sure I fully understand the question. --enablerepo won't place
any priority on the listed repository(s), it will just enable it if it
is disabled in the appropriate repo file. Similarly, --disablerepo will
cause a repository to be disabled for the duration of the command.
Enabling a repo that is already enabled won't do anything, AFAIK.
