Okay, I just cloned this repo, like:

git clone -n \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git \
stable

How do I now checkout for example 2.6.20.6, or get a diff between 2.6.20.6 
and the (at the moment of writing latest -stable) 2.6.20.7?

rene@7ixe4:~/src/linux$ cd stable
rene@7ixe4:~/src/linux/stable$ git branch -a
* master
  origin/HEAD
  origin/linux-2.6
  origin/linux-2.6.12.y
  origin/linux-2.6.13.y
  origin/linux-2.6.14.y
  origin/linux-2.6.15.y
  origin/linux-2.6.16.y
  origin/linux-2.6.17.y
  origin/linux-2.6.18.y
  origin/linux-2.6.19.y
  origin/linux-2.6.20.y
  origin/master

and I can check them out like

rene@7ixe4:~/src/linux/stable$ git checkout origin/linux-2.6.20.y

or in this case, but only this case, like:

rene@7ixe4:~/src/linux/stable$ git checkout v2.6.20.7

"v2.6.20.7" seems to be the only tag from the stable branches that's present 
 in this tree?

rene@7ixe4:[...]$ git tag -l | grep "v2\.6\.[[:digit:]]\{1,2\}\."
v2.6.20.7
