It gets even better.  I now have both a "google" repo and a
"google-chrome" repo.  According to yum list all:

> google-chrome-beta.x86_64             4.0.249.30-33928            installed     
> google-chrome-unstable.x86_64         4.0.249.30-33928            google        

huh?

so I looked at both repo files:

Looks like the same repo to me!
