For networking you will see: T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git The first of these is for changes that should go into the pending release (at present that would be 3.9), limited to important bug fixes and (sometimes) new drivers. The second is for new features and more minor bug fixes that can wait for the next release.
