I don't think that's the problem, since the v2.6.35.14 tag and the
commits that lead to it have been at
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/longterm/linux-2.6.35.y.git for
at least twelve hours.  The problem is that while the tag is there, the
master branch is still at v2.6.35.13-original.  This happens if you just
"git push v2.6.35.14" without _also_ explicitly pushing the master
branch.  In that case, the commits leading to v2.6.35.14 get pushed (and
can be fetched with "git fetch -t") but are not on any branch.

Linus himself had already made this mistake at least twice, so it can
happen to anyone, I guess. :-)
