Repository Version creation api should provide an easy way to clear out all units when adding new units
100%
Description
When creating a new repository version, its very easy to add units or remove units, but if I want to specify some list of units I want the repository version to have, i must first clear out all the existing units which is very cumbersome.
Solution¶
Allow users to specify ['*'] for remove_content_units. This will let users remove all content units from a repo version. They can also specify add_content_units which will add back units to the empty repo version.
Note that we'll need to change the current logic to add units after removing units. We want to document these behaviors clearly in the docs too.

What about letting the user submit ['*'] for remove_content_units?

What if I submit a list of add_content_units (e.g. A, B, C) along with ['*'] for remove_content_units? Then my repo version has just A, B, C?
Updated by dkliban@redhat.com over 5 years ago
Yes. However, I don't think that will happen always now. If A, B, C were in the previous version, they will not be present in the new version because we add first and then remove.
