Yeah, a public repo on git.kernel.org containing only the snapshot tags
would be immensely useful.

e.g. Fedora rawhide regularly ships snapshots, so it'd be really nice to
be easily look-up what's been merged since a given snapshot:

  $> git-fetch linus
  $> git-fetch snapshot-tags
  $> git-log v2.6.26-git12..linus/master

(That is, assuming the snapshot script couldn't just push the tags to
Linus's repo ...)

Cheers,
Mark.
