Currently you should be looking at for-next or for-2.6.37, though the branch names will change as kernel development moves forward.
What is the git command line path/parameter for for-next or for-2.6.37? Something equivalent to... ....pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
That is the git path to the repository. for-next and for-2.6.37 are branches in that repository.
Why do the files in git/broonie/sound-2.6.git look older than -next? For example, it's missing soc-cache.c, and the codec drivers there use the old I/O method. Same drivers in -next are newer and use the soc-cache.
You're looking at the wrong branch, you need to look at one of the branches mentioned above. git branch -r to list remote branches. I can't remember what the default branch is but since it changes with every release it's not always up to date.
Developing against -next is also OK, it contains everything in the above tree (and then some).
