There is a problem with repoid - in redhat.repo there is not pulp id. 
That's because CP content <-> repos is 1:N relation (one content in more 
environments, every environment separate repo). Therefore we need to 
specify environment somewhere.

What about using the repourl (with substituting $env var) for the repo 
identification in pulp for this purpose.?
