I'm not sure I fully understand the question. --enablerepo won't place 
any priority on the listed repository(s), it will just enable it if it 
is disabled in the appropriate repo file. Similarly, --disablerepo will 
cause a repository to be disabled for the duration of the command. 
Enabling a repo that is already enabled won't do anything, AFAIK.
