The RPG URL can be edited after importing to the next environment, and it 
should be ignored when comparing against the flow in registry so it won’t be 
seen as a change that needs to be committed. So although you can’t use a 
variable, you should still be able to version control a flow with an RPG and 
just update the URL after deployment with a script.
