You have to clone also https://git.centos.org/git/centos-git-common.git
Then go your kernel directory, checkout sig-altarch7-aarch64 branch
and invoke following command (assuming you clone centos-git-common nearby):

../centos-git-common/get_sources.sh

This will give you the kernel sources archive.
After that you'll be able to run rpmbuild and so on.
