This is the official place for oVirt releases and what any user should use.
The official repositories

Experimental - internal repo for CI, no one should use it.
Tested - official verified repos with packages that passed OST, we
recommend anyone to use that repo if he wants latest and greatest packages
and can't wait to an official release
Snapshots - from next week, ovirt-snapshot-master will be a nightly
snapshot of tested repo, this is ideal for QE or anyone who wants to test
oVirt, but can't have the repo refreshed all the time.

We don't maintain this, probably kept for history purposes

Please open a ticket on jira.ovirt.org with details and we'll look into it,
but I don't think that each directory on a release server should matter.
There is official documentation for oVirt users and release rpms which
provides you with exactly which repos you should use.

We do need to add documentation on what each repo means and its usage, can
you please open a ticket on it so we won't forget?
