While this "Works" in the sense that it makes your working
directory look like the contents of the given tag, you are
now using a "detached HEAD" -- ie, no real branch.

If you think you will ever want to make a change or check
in something, you might be better to create a branch based
on the original tag, perhaps something like:

    $ git checkout -b my-v2.6.24 v2.6.24
