Don't do that.  That will move your current branch tip to that commit
and throw away all of your current changes (if any) in the working
directory.

If you just want to visit and use the old version do

    git checkout release_6.26b

instead.

The tag 'release_6.26b' is commit e0cd12716ac8202d4b5c764dfb57d5d7725be73a.

If you want to make changes on top of release_6.26b then create a new
branch instead with

    git checkout -b emacs21 release_6.26b

(naming the branch whatever you like instead of emacs21)

HTH,
