I did something a little easier - if you click on the tag, it now displays the contents of the tag in the details pane. Is that good enough?

I implemented these two. There is now a "Reread references" button in the File menu. References other than tags and heads get displayed in a light blue box.

Hmmm... now I suppose we want a way to use gitk to drive the git bisection process... :)
