Well, what is it that's going to be acting on these files? That's what
needs to determine if they are centos repo files or not.

you could do it via comments in the file but that's gonna be kinda
gross. you could, of course, keep a list of the files which are the ones
provided in the centos yum package and then always work from that list.

depends on what the program has to do.
