Preferably, I'd like to get it working with the version of yum in RHEL5 
(3.2.19-18).  But I just followed the directions at http://yum.baseurl.org/

    git clone git://yum.baseurl.org/yum.git

which seems to be the unstable 4.0 branch, And that version doesn't seem 
to have it.  (And the directions for moving to the 3.2.X branch don't 
work, git doesn't like the command line.  I really ought to learn git 
one of these days...)
