Sure, let me try to explain what I mean by using an example.

I try to copy erratas & erratas rpm from repository AREPO to BREPO.
AREPO contains the following rpms :
- firstrpm-1.0-2
- secondrpm-2.0-1
- thirdrpm-1.0-1

BREPO contains the following rpms
- firstrpm-1.0-1
- secondrpm-1.0-1

firstrpm-1.0-1 depends on secondrpm

firstrpm-1.0-2 depends on secondrpm
firstrpm-1.0-2 depends on thirdrpm

There is a security errata for firstrpm, the bug is patched in firstrpm-1.0-2.

If I use the recursive flag, I'll end up with BREPO looking exactly as AREPO. I
want BREPO to looks like this :
- firstrpm-1.0-2
- secondrpm-1.0-1
- thirdrpm-1.0-1

I hope it explains what I wish :)
