How do you decide which changes should go into "net" and which ones go into "net-
next"?
At a guess I would think bug fixes are in "net" and feature changes into
"net-next" but it is not obvious from the commit log.

I'll go out on a limb and try to explain this:
net-next - changes for the next merge window
net - bug fixes and cleanups for the current release candidate
HTR (hope thats right),

net-next - new features added in development and *experimental*
net - features(thought as steady and come frome net-next tree) and bug
fixes, can be merged into linux.git(which is the tree below) by Linus.
linux - the mainline release.
That's my opinion.

Yi
