they do. and you can just do, ie for 2.6.15.y
git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.15.y.git
master:v2.6.15.y
you might wanna use --tags for fetch. see git-fetch(1) for more detail.
see http://kernel.org/git/ for other stable branches. and thanks for
stable branch maintainers.
