I think the only option is to generate a graft file specifying 2.6.25 as parent of 2.6.26.

I have an script that generates it. It gives an overview of the branches/tags, where the parents of a branch/tag are the independent branches/tags that are antecesors (search for git-overview in the list). But currently it has a very bad performance, it could be added to git itself like the other history simplifications, but I don´t know.
