Here's what I've done on my side on the tags I had :

  for i in $(git tag|grep ^v[23]|grep -v pre|grep -v rc); do
    echo -n "${i#v} "
    git archive --format tar --prefix linux-${i#v}/ $i | md5sum
  done

On the 2.4 repo, here are the md5 outputs :

Those md5 should be compared with the ones from the uncompressed
archives :

  for i in linux-[23].[0-9]*.tar.bz2; do
    echo -n "$i ";bzcat $i|md5sum
  done

  linux-2.4.37.11.tar.bz2 2d25eeb6339bfce740aacc7d55851141  -

Result: it's correct. With a bit of scripting, it's easy to match
tags signatures with tarballs'.

The same must be done on tar.gz versions too. While typing this mail,
I had the script running on 2.6 tags and here's what I have at this
point (git archive is amazingly fast!) :
