All right, finally this worked out:
git pull rsync://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git \
     tag v2.6.17-rc6-mm2

Strange enough with http:// instead of rsync:// I got some message
about nonexistent tag.

Now when I try git pull with http:// again it says the tree is up to
date. However with git:// it started downloading more things and tags.

That's confusing - I believed all protocols should behave the same way...?
