Research direction
Start in the repository's Release > tags view and compare the latest stable_20240124 tag with the rpi-6.6.y branch; inspect the Makefile version and the commit referenced by the 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8 Debian changelog. Done means the 6.6.y kernel has corresponding stable_* tags that identify the expected commit and are visible to users.

Description
Describe the bug
I'm integrating RPi Linux into NixOS. I've seen the announcement that RPi OS is receiving Linux 6.6, and I've seen that the default branch of this repository is now rpi-6.6.y. However, I don't see a tag corresponding with this update. The last tag available is stable_20240124 and that corresponds to 6.1.73-based kernel.
Currently a workaround is to download the latest RPi OS image one from raspberrypi.com and mount the image to inspect usr/share/doc/linux-image-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8/changelog.Debian.gz which specifies the commit. However, this is inconvenient.
This is probably related to https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/368
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Go to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux and select "Release > <n> tags". Select the latest tag, then commit, then "Browse Files". Open "Makefile" and notice that it's still 6.1.y kernel.
