Magnus already answered your checkout question. I just want to add
that you can view a tag's content even without checking out. For
example,"git archive" can create a zip/tarball of any tree-ish. "git
ls-tree" lets you view directory structure of a tree-ish, "git show
<tree-ish>:path" lets you view content of a specific file.
