I guess the reason why your reply has a time before that of my original message 
is daylight savings time!

Anyway, using webpin
    http://packages.opensuse-community.org/
I could not find a package that owns
    /var/log/zypp/history
and it's not on my system - I'm using OpenSuse 11.0 x86_64.

Even if it were, I'm addressing the broader use-case of

User Cathy installs "A" from repository "X"
"A" requires "B" from repository "Y" for proper operation.
"A" requires "C" with a vendor change from repository "Z" to repository "W" for 
proper operation.

When Cathy chooses to remove repository "X", this should cause the removal of 
package "A".
If package "B" is not required by packages from repositories other than "X" 
then it should be removed.
If package "C" is not required by packages from repositories other than "X" 
then it should revert to the version from repository "Z".

Tracking these dependencies "by hand" would be error-prone to say the least.

Philip
