Sometimes I receive a kernel patch based off an older version of the

I would like to create a branch starting at 2.6.18, merge the patch, and
then merge up to the current kernel.
How does one check out a tag, or create a branch based on a tag's
starting point?
A tag is a ref like any other:
git checkout -b branchname tag
Weird. No idea why that didn't work before, for me.
Thanks for the clue-hammer.
