What's the syntax for checking out a specific tag on a remote?

I tried: git checkout -b my19 linus/master/v2.6.19 git checkout linus/master/v2.6.19 git checkout linus/v2.6.19

jonsmirl@terra:/home/linux$ git remote show linus
* remote linus
  URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
