Is there any way to make gitk display tags when specifying a path? example: gitk drivers/usb/gadget will show me all commits that touches this directory but I can't make gitk show me where the tags are so I can see which commits made it into what release.

With a recent git you can say:
gitk --simplify-by-decoration drivers/usb/gadget
it will show the commits modifying the file and with a ref (tag or branch).
With the command line you can use:
git tag --contains <commit> # only in git v1.6.2-rc0
it lists all the tags that contain the given commit,
or
git describe --contains <commit>
that tells which is the nearer tag that contains the given commit.
