I don't think zypper has the ability to automatically pull in
dependent repositories.

I don't think it should be used often, but for the normal updates
repo, tumbleweed, a maybe a couple others it would be great if zypper
allowed a single repo to be added which in turn caused the underlying
repo to be searched.

Thus if a user has the tumbleweed repo, there could be config data
that tells zypper that it should also consider the opensuse_current
repo to be part of it.

That way Greg KH could also control how the updates repo gets handled, etc.

Anyway, I'm not a zypper internals expert, so I'm just asking if this
would be feasible.
