You're right. repo is listed in the documentation here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html
For my purposes, I use "revisor" to compose an installation repository
suitable for HTTP installs and keep that on my laptop. I PXE boot new
servers from a direct connection and perform the installation thusly. I
suppose with "repo" I could, instead, use a proxy server with the cached
installation files and avoid setting up revisor.
