AFAIK there is no public tree that contains these tags.  But I have a
little script that creates them.  See below.

Best regards

#! /usr/bin/env python

import re
import sys
from urllib2 import urlopen, HTTPError
from subprocess import call

re_version = re.compile('v?(?P<version>2.6.[0-9]+(-rc[0-9]+)?)(?P<snapshot>-git[0-9]+)?')
re_hash = re.compile('[0-9a-f]{40}$')

def get(version):
    url = 'http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-%s.id' % version
    try:
        f = urlopen(url)
        id = f.read(41).strip()
        print id
        mo = re_hash.match(id)
        if not mo:
            return None

        call(['git', 'tag', '--', 'v%s' % version, id])

    except HTTPError:
        print "could not find %s" % version
        return None

for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
    mo = re_version.match(arg)
    if not mo:
        print 'skip %r' % arg
        continue
    if mo.group('snapshot'):
        get(mo.group('version') + mo.group('snapshot'))
