reposync script

Description of problem:
When mirroring a RHEL 7 repository using reposync, and requesting that the comps.xml and metadata also be downloaded, the directory structure that is created is in error.

When using reposync in RHEL 6.5, the following structure is created in the reposync process:
    Base directory
    --- rhel-7-supplementary-rpms
    ------ Packages

where the comp/metadata is loaded in the 'rhel-7-supplementary-rpms' directory and all the rpm packages are loaded in the 'Packages' directory.  This is consistent with what you normally get if you use yum to download packages and use the option keepcache=1 to retain the downloaded packages.

Note:  rhel-7-supplementary-rpms is used as a typical example.  This occurs for any repository that is downloaded.

When using reposync in RHEL 7.0, the following structure is created.

    Base directory
    --- rhel-7-supplementary-rpms

Both the package and metadata are loaded in the same 'rhel-7-supplementary-rpms' directory.  They are not segregated out separately. This requires you to manually search for and extract the metadata if you need to use it. A tedious process for large repositories.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce: (see attached test script)
1. Run reposync
2. Use reposync options --downloadcomps and --download-metadata
3.

Actual results: Output directory structure
    Base directory
    --- rhel-7-xxxxxx-rpms

Expected results: Output directory structure
    Base directory
    --- rhel-7-xxxxxx-rpms
    ------ Packages

The correct results can be obtained by downloading the latest yum-utils package from the RHEL 6.5 repo, extracting the reposync executable, and using it instead of the RHEL 7.0 /usr/bin/reposync package.  This is the workaround I am currently using.
