If you mean the way git trees are handled on kernel.org, that's not
true.  There is only one class of git tree -- kernel.org happens to
use /pub/scm but ~/scm/ is perfectly fine.  But I don't see a reason
to have two places to put git trees -- let's just pick one.

I think trying to make a distinction between stable and development
git trees is a mistake, since a single tree can contain many branches,
some of which might be "stable" and some of which might be
"development".  In fact I think stability is a matter of degree so it
may not even be possible to agree on whether a given branch is stable
or not.
