beaker-import needs to be more flexible so we can import selectively from composes, either by specifically selecting trees, or by not dying the some trees do not exist
http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/#/c/1522/
I'd also like to add the ability to add all the relevant repos when importing from the tree level.
This changes makes two fundamental changes to the possibilities of distro importing. The first is that no assumption is made as to the trees that exist within a compose. This means, that if you wish to pass a compose URL to beaker-import, it will import all valid trees it can find, and not abort if expected trees are not found. Inversely, we can now specify which trees we want imported by using the --arch and --variant options. This allows us to only import those trees which are of relevance. Secondly, we now attempt to treat tree level imports as we do composes. That is, we attempt to populate trees imported at the tree level with the same data as if they had been imported indirectly from the compose level. Historically and specifically, this has been an issue with regards to repos, where trees imported at the tree level were befeft of certain repos. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the same level of accuracy as we can if importing from the compose level (at least with RHEL7, Fedora), as the compose informs us of the location of all relevant repos. If we are importing at the tree level, we rely on hard coding 'known' locations, where we expect the repos to be.

Setting status to MODIFIED since the patch is merged.
Or, rather I am just going to keep it ON_QA, since the packages aren't built yet. But yeah, feel free to set it to VERIFIED. It seems to work fine.
In fact, i think it should be MODIFIED. Sorry for the spam.
Beaker 0.12 has been released.
