This is a regression. It used to be that when you forget the type part
of the feed it told you that was the case and said valid values for it
(yum, rhn, local). Now it just says "error" and you have to look at the
server logs:

# Missing type in feed
$ pulp-admin repo create --id pulp-32 --feed
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-13/i386
error: operation failed:

# Next command specified the feed type
$ pulp-admin repo create --id pulp-32 --feed
yum:http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-13/i386
Successfully created repository [ pulp-32 ]

$ tail -1 /var/log/pulp/pulp.log
PulpException: "Invalid type.  valid types are ['yum', 'local', 'rhn']"



I think this should be pretty important since that type syntax is not
that intuitive, especially to new users (I still forget to add it, which
is why I stumbled across this).

Has anyone been in that area that can take a look at this? IMO we really
should try to get it fixed before the Community Release - I think it's
going to be common for new users to not know to indicate a type or what
the type values are and I really don't want their first experience to
not even be able to create a repo.
