Yes, let's reserve net for patches which will go directly into:
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/
Similar for net-next.

The tree name is supposed to tell the maintainer who you expect
to take the patch.

The batman tree (according to MAINTAINERS) is called linux-merge
so let's ignore that and use batman and batman-next?
