I usually download the whole git repository and then then checkout the
desired tag from the branch I want. I.e.:

$ git checkout <branch name>
$ git checkout <tag object name>
$ git checkout <commit name>

A <branch name> is i.e. "master".
A <tag object name> is i.e. "v2.6.23-rc1".
A <commit name> is i.e. "1b2e1d63ff".
(without the "" quotes)

...checkout -f  forces this and overwrites local changes.

Read: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html
And there are other tutorials for git... it's all explained with
several examples.
