Git: Using tags as branches

I am interested in using Git tags as branches for retrieving artifacts from a build, but have been unable to get this to work.  This is very briefly described on the following wiki page, but I am looking for further examples of how this can be done:

https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/Git+%28JetBrains%29

I have attempted retrieving artifacts from a URL such as the following, but nothing is available:

http://teamcity/repository/download/my_tc_project/.lastSuccessful/teamcity-ivy.xml?branch=my_git_tag


Can anyone provide examples of how this documented feature works?


Thanks,

Brian
