I was able to reproduce http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README:-

mkdir linux.trees.git || exit -1
cd linux.trees.git

git init
# Add Linus's tree as a remote
git remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

# Add the -tip tree as a remote
git remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
git remote update
git checkout -b tip-latest tip/master

"make menuconfig" doesn't show options for Xen Dom0 support
"make" builds vmlinuz-2.6.29-rc5-tip, but it's useless.

Sorry, to bother you . It's unknown for myself at least
how to build kernel via git now . Git repos at kernel.org have
been modified.

up but I will never see a login prompt. I have to ssh into the box.

This should work if you're using a serial console. Otherwise, you can use
a vga console; I use:

title xen-unstable pvops
kernel /xen-3.gz loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-rc5-tip ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
ignore_loglevel pci=nomsi earlyprintk=vga console=tty0 module
/initrd-2.6.29-rc5-tip.img
