There isn't a particularly easy way, you just have to make sure
fedora-release-rawhide is installed and tweak the enabled repos, AFAIK.
I guess if you edited the .repo files directly they wouldn't get
overridden on updates? I haven't really played with it much, to be
honest, I just adjust as necessary for whatever I'm trying to do as I go
along.
