I'm not sure about your exact requirements, but maybe

git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration

does something useful for you. Also remember gitk etc. which takes the
same arguments for commit selection (those of git-rev-list). I always
forget about the power of git-rev-list options when used with log and
gitk. Thanks for reminding me :)
