Tom is correct.  There is an opportunity for some service to listen for 
successful builds from koji and create matching tags in git, however the 
mentioned fedpkg gitbuildhash is a useful way to directly get to the 
hash used for a build.

What you may have missed was that gitbuildhash doesn't take a git /tag/, 
it takes an rpm n-v-r, so you can literally do:

$ fedpkg gitbuildhash $(rpm -q --qf="%{sourcerpm}\n" kernel |head -1|sed 
-e s/.src.rpm//)

That'll work for more than just kernel too.  It's even smart enough to 
figure out builds from the CVS era.

Is there anything else required?
