*If* you have change against the network core/drivers then, you would
want to use David Miller's net or net-next trees.

As a general rule:
 - net tree is only for fixes/critical fixes
 - net-next tree is for everything else

There are always exceptions, but if you stick to the above general rule,
you will be fine.
