<Started>
March 27, 2012.
April 6, 2014.
Refactored to use the 'unittest' module (test conditions in code, rather
than verifying text output), use pre-generated repository files, and
discontinue use of the old repository tools. Modify the previous scenario
simulated for the mix-and-match attack. -vladimir.v.diaz

<Purpose>
Simulate a mix-and-match attack. In a mix-and-match attack, an attacker is
able to trick clients into using a combination of metadata that never existed
together on the repository at the same time.
Note: There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
