I'm still not getting a 2.6.15-rc2 tag with either git-clone or
git-fetch --tags.  Any ideas?  Is the problem with me or with the
repository?

Try using 

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

instead. Does that help? 

It should.  And I think git:// should be encouraged over
http://, but some people (including me at work) can only come
from http://, so...

I don't understand how http:// works (or doesn't), so..

The difference between git-ls-remote against your repository via
git:// and http:// would tell you.  Your info/refs in your repo
is stale; git http transport is designed to cope with webservers
without dirindex, and only uses info/refs to find out what refs
you have in that repository.  It does not fall back on "wget -r"
behaviour simply because it is a mess (you get all sorts of
useless links by doing dirindex in refs/ directory, like Name,
Last modified, Size, Parent Directory).

Mind enabling hooks/post-update on the master so that
update-server-info is run after you push into it?
