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.
