- obs://zypp:Code11_2-Branch collects changes/bugfixes for the official 11.2 
codebase. Whatever shows up there, may sooner or later be released as 
official online update for 11.2. If you follow this, you may get some 
enhancements/fixes a bit earlier then via the 11.2:Upades chanel. But the 
packages here did not yet pass all the QA.


- obs://zypp:Head contains the beeding edge code. Currently the same as 
Code11_2, but we will soon branch and start development for 11.3 here. It 
will always contain the latest development features, but may sometimes turn 
out to be less stable.


- download.opensuse.org/repositories/zypp:/Head/openSUSE_11.2 is the bleeding 
package management edge code (zypp:Head), but compiled against 11.2. Similar 
for YaST. 

It's mostly intended for users who want to use and test the latest package 
management (zypper) features, but do not want to follow Factory as a whole.

( Not intended - but following zypp:Head you should be able to download and
  install packages manually (without YaST/zypper); just in case we do 
  something stupid. )


So it's up to you which codebase you want to follow.
