>From some more reading this, it sounds like our CVS tags are
essentially turned into commit markers in git.  See:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#how-git-stores-references
http://book.git-scm.com/3_git_tag.html

This shouldn't rule out showing them in the history, but perhaps the
cvs to git migration confuses things...
