I could only find the -pre7 tag with a recent fetch today.

For getting 3.70-pre7, do:

$ git fetch
...
 * [new branch]      gpxe-added -> origin/gpxe-added
 * [new tag]         syslinux-3.70-pre7 -> syslinux-3.70-pre7
$ git checkout syslinux-3.70-pre7
Note: moving to "syslinux-3.70-pre7" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
  git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at 9eddd22... Add gPXE into the source tree; build unified
image
$ make spotless all
