Add notes on reprepro _addreference

Browse Source 
I had to figure out this command to restore some of our reprepro
mirrors, add notes on it.

Cleanup some other things I noticed; quotes around REPREPRO command,
clarify the situation with pointing mirrors at the RO/RW volumes and
refactor discussion.
