I think "git show ${tag}" should be more like "git show ${commit}", that is, with the tagger and date information and the indent, as:

$ git show v1.4.4.2
tag v1.4.4.2
Tagger: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: ${Date}

    GIT 1.4.4.2

and the commit (or object) it references.

I would add:

git show v1.0.0^{}::
      Shows only the commit referenced by the tag `v1.0.0`.
