I think I prefer the command line edition "git-describe". But it seems that the two approaches gives a different results. (Cc'ing the git mailing list as they might know the reason)

  git-describe f4c1f3e0c59be0e6566d9c00b1d8b204ffb861a2
  returns "v2.6.26-rc8-1107-gf4c1f3e"

  While you URL returns: "X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~964^2~219"

I also did a: "git log v2.6.26..v2.6.27 | grep f4c1f3e0c59be0e6566d9c00b1d8b204ffb861a2" commit f4c1f3e0c59be0e6566d9c00b1d8b204ffb861a2

To Radu: The change I talked about is in 2.6.27, so you should try that kernel on you system.
