koji's mergerepos does not consider epoch tag

[Atanas Zhelev]

Hi all,

i'm using external repository with various vendor supplied rpm's in koji. One 
of those rpm's had it's versioning schema changed and it uses epoch tag now. 
After regeneration of the build tags koji does not see the new package. It 
looks like mergerepos ignores the epoch tag. The "old" rpm which actually has 
a higher version number if epoch is not considered is included instead.
Can you offer any advice?
Thanks
