This name is used as the save location for the mirror. If the mirror represented, say, Fedora Core

When updating repos by name, a repo will be updated even if it is set to be not updated during a regular reposync operation (ex: cobbler repo edit --name=reponame1 --keep-updated=0).
-Note that if a cobbler import provides enough information to use the boot server as a yum mirror for core packages, cobbler can set up kickstarts to use the cobbler server as a mirror instead of the outside world. If this feature is desirable, it can be turned on by setting yum_core_mirror_from_server to 1 in /var/lib/cobbler/settings (and rerunning "cobbler sync"). You should not enable this feature if machines are provisioned on a different VLAN/network than production.
