Hmmm... that is second such request...

While it probably be possible to show tags in 'history' view, it would be not easy. The problem is that 'history' view shows only commits that touch specified file or directory, and tagged commits usually do not touch those files (at least if one is using "bump version number" commits to tag them).

So you would have: 
1. Design where to show those tags - they would be between shown
   commits.
2. Create code which shows some/all tags that are between commits in
   the presence of nonlinear history, without affecting performance
   too badly.
