First of all, this question should be asked IMVHO on git mailing list,
with Cc: sent to Kernel.Org admins or John 'Warthog9' Hawley, author of
the gitweb modification (caching gitweb) used at kernel.org

I cannot help you what the contents of net/netlink should look like,
because I don't have clone of the linux kernel repository. By "in git
locally on linux" you mean in the working area? Or perhaps result of
"git ls-tree HEAD:net/netlink"? You should have provided command used
to get those 71 files, and perhaps even those 71 files list.

[J.H.]

I'm not seeing anything horrible per se in what it's doing - If you can
provide a list of the files it should be listing I'd be appreciative.

For instance on a $random machine with a 2.6.9 tree open on it that I
have at work I'm seeing:

[netlink]$ ls
af_netlink.c  af_netlink.o  built-in.o  Makefile  netlink_dev.c
netlink_dev.o
[netlink]$ pwd
..../linux-2.6.9/net/netlink
[netlink]$

So yeah - some further information on the problem your seeing would be
helpful as I don't have a tree checked out either right now.
