Is it possible I can check out the commit as

In complement to Jeff's answer: you can also get the content of a
specific file without checking out with

  git show 3831530dcb7b713:path/to/file

Tag: aabb

  git log --decorate

does this (except that tags appear after the commit ID, not after the
log message). You may also want to look at gitk.
