Currently in 'shortlog' view you can see 'ref' markers... which include tags.

For example 'shortlog' view for 'maint' branch has the following fragment:

 2010-07-28 	 Matthieu Moy	 Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.
 2010-07-27 	 Junio C Hamano	 Git 1.7.2.1  [v1.7.2.1]
 2010-07-27 	 Junio C Hamano	 Sync with 1.7.1.2
 2010-07-27 	 Junio C Hamano	 Git 1.7.1.2  [v1.7.1.2]
 2010-07-27 	 Junio C Hamano	 Sync with 1.7.0 series
 2010-07-27 	 Junio C Hamano	 Git 1.7.0.7  [v1.7.0.7]
where e.g. [v1.7.2.1] is ref marker for 'v1.7.2.1' tag.

If you have something different in mind, please provide moackup, either as ASCII-art, or link to HTML or image.
