[Pulp-list] Removing content from repo via API

[Trey Dockendorf]

That works, at least sort of.  I noticed that the unit_id values for
non-rpm content types don't seem to be unique between repos.  Also my
script failed to remove ~2000 RPMs from my local-centos-6-base repo.
Curious if there's some special technique required to make one repo a
mirror of the other when one only receives content via "copy".  My goal is
to sync centos-6-base using feed URL, then copy individual content as
needed into local-centos-6-base.  Occasionally, like I am doing now, I'd
like the local-centos-6-base repo to be a mirror of centos-6-base.  I'm
thinking the best option is either delete and recreate my
local-centos-6-base repo and run 'copy all' or add a feed to that repo
that's the same as centos-6-base with --remove-missing added.

If anyone has done something similar, I'd be interested to know how this
problem was solved.

Thanks,
- Trey
