um-config-manager (dnf config-manager) does not accept repo names as arguments
(it accepts only repo IDs, there's no docs related to that). On the other hand, 'dnf repolist' accepts both repo names and IDs.
dnf-4.0.9.2-5.el8.noarch
dnf-plugins-core-4.0.2.2-3.el8.noarch
simple reproducer:
1. create a repo with different name and ID, enable it
2. # dnf --disable <repo-name>
<snip>
Error: No matching repo to modify: <repo-name>.
Also /CoreOS/yum-utils/Sanity/bz971599-Yum-config-manager-confuses-ID-and-name can help to reproduce the bug.

Description of problem:
Evidently yum config manager confuses ID and name.
<james> And can yum see it in "yum repolist" ?
<neb> in the list it appears to be:
<neb> rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
<neb> vs
<neb> rhel-server-optional-6-rpms
<james> Are the id and names different?
<james> yum-config-manager just takes ids
<james> repolist does both, IIRC.
<neb> doh that is subtle
<james> ugh … even worse yum-config-manager seems to take names only … doh!
<james> that can't be right.
<james> oh … the code is using name for id … nice.
<james> yeh, repolist has it's own find routine … I can fix that for RHEL-7, probably.
<neb> great. no wonder it had me so confused.
<james> neb: If you could file a RHEL-7 bug/RFE that'd be great.
<neb> this is still rhel6 though
<james> Yeh, you can file a bug there too … I just wouldn't hold your breath.
<neb> still want one for rhel7 but not rhel6
<james> Maybe for 6.6 or whatever.
<neb> OK
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch
I create a patch that improves the documentation. It says that it accept a repoid. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/330
I also believe that usage of repoid is a proper approach because repoid is a unique identificator. If multiple repos have the same name there is no warning or an error for any operation.
Additionally options like --disablerepo and so on also accept only the repoid.
