The tree hosted on arago-project.org is contains work in progress some of which may not been accepted (or even submitted) in mainline yet. Once the code receives sufficient testing there, it makes its way upstream through various subsystem tree through patch submissions (to this list and to other subsystem lists). The tree on git.kernel.org is maintained by Kevin Hilman who uses it to host code accepted by him for the next kernel merge window. He uses this tree to send pull requests to Linus. Sometimes he also hosts patches accepted on other subsystem trees while we wait for the trees to merge. The tree on arago-project.org derives from that on git.kernel.org plus some non-mainline work. You will find more functionality on arago-project.org, but the functionality which has not been accepted upstream may change drastically by the time the code is accepted mainline.
