All that s/16/19/ (appears) to do is alter the name of the directory produced.
#cd checkout
#cat .kernelversion
#v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
Tried the git-fsck, and it complained about HEAD not being kosher.
My thought is that there may have been git changes subseqent to that
'smurf' tree creation that rendered it b0rk3n, but I dunno.

Are you using a recent version of git?
The tree appears ok via the web interface at
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git;a=summary
(see under "heads" or "tags").

Doing a clone instead of a fetch seems to give me

Given a decent recipe, I'm thinking this would be helpful on kernelnewbies.org.

Hm, I try to use git as little as possible. Anyway, I cloned
the linux-trees.git and mucked around with it a bit (and it was
frustrating). I finally got v2.6.19-rc2-mm1 by doing this:
git checkout -f v2.6.19-rc2-mm1

maybe so, but did you look at the other git help on the web, like:
http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html
and http://git.or.cz/ (FAQ, wiki, docs, etc.)
Unless the kernelnewbies.org info would be lots better, it might
as well just link to these IMO.

Futher assistance from jdl on #git gave me a proper:
git checkout -b MyBranch v2.6.19-rc2-mm2
which gets past the stale 'master' in the repository cloning.
