IIRC the usage is:
netdev-2.6.git <= old stuff, 4 weeks since last update. Not in use
net-2.6.25.git <= patches for current kernel release (only fixes)
net-2.6.git <= patches for next kernel relase and planned to be
applied in next merge window
So net-2.6.git is the correct choice for bleeding edge.
