About printing either forward (git-describe, e.g. v1.6.0.2-590-g67f6062) or backward (git-name-rev, e.g. tags/v1.6.0-rc2~8): you can use git-name-rev in filter mode (git log ... | git name-rev --stdin), or "git log --decorate", or '%d' in --pretty format specifier (this is very new thing).

You might be also interested in --abbrev-commit (when used with --pretty=oneline format), and --graph option to git-log (or git-show-branch). The "(--merged | --no-merged | --contains) [<commit>]" options to git-branch might be also of interest...
