Once you clone, you get the entire source in the master branch.
git branch => will show which branch you are in currently
If you want to see the list of tags use => git tag -l
and then if you want to checkout a particular tag to a new branch created from the master, use
=> git checkout -b v3.0-rc4

guess have to check git apply for that.
also, how do u clone a particular git tree for a particular tag
for example
if i use git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
linux-2.6
it will clone the linus latest tree but if i want to clone only till
rc4 or rc5 of his tree how to do it.
