A: There are always two trees (git repositories) in play.  Both are driven
   by David Miller, the main network maintainer.  There is the "net" tree,
   and the "net-next" tree.  As you can probably guess from the names, the
   net tree is for fixes to existing code already in the mainline tree from
   Linus, and net-next is where the new code goes for the future release.
   You can find the trees here:

        https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git
        https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git


Hope this helps.
