I've read the man page and came across this:
"... This is probably a command you would want to put on a crontab, though the frequency of that crontab and where the output goes is left up to the systems administrator..."
it's been left up to the sysadmin to make sense of the output and I will unless there is something else out there that already does this. Initially, I'd like to see what changed in each repo after the reposync. A list of packages sync'd would be great. Is there any reporting like this already?
Also, does createrepo get run regardless if anything within the repo actually changed? Thanks.

Cobbler can't do this presently. It is doable using the yum APIs for sure, we just don't do it yet.

Yes, if the transfer operation is successful it will run createrepo. No changes isn't defined as failure and we do not do fancier things to check to see if there are changes before running createrepo.
This is because we also support transfer via rsync and ssh or the filesystem, and not just yum.
