No, that's what I want to avoid.  Everyone else responding
*is* maintaining snapshot copies of repositories and I
don't think anyone should have to.  Yum's view of a
repository consists of all the hdr files it has downloaded
from it.  I want it to pretend that files added after
a certain time weren't there, thus creating a view of
the state of the repository at a prior time.  Given
only that, nothing anyone has said yet has convinced
me that that yum would not make the same decisions
about update versions again.
