You need to specifically ask for branch "testing".

But if you have a 2.6.23-rc9 tree at hand (as I do) it's IMHO easier to
just pick git-hwmon.patch in Andrew's latest tree:
http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc8/2.6.23-rc8-mm2/broken-out/git-hwmon-fixup.patch
And apply it on top of your tree, and then add your own patches on top
of that.
