In git, list all tags since some tag

I'm using tags to identify release versions and to identify "development complete" commits for tasks. Doing a git tag I get a list like the following.

> git tag
v0.1.0
task_1768
task_2011
task_1790
task_1341
v0.1.1
task_2043
task_2311
v0.1.2

Assuming that all tags point to commits on master branch, is there a way to list all tags since some tag? For example, to generate a list of all tasks included in the v0.1.2 release -- I'm looking for something like the following (which is not an actual command).

> git tag -l "task_*" --since v0.1.1

To get output like the following.

task_2043
task_2311

Is there a way to do this with git tag?

Is there a way to do this with git rev-list?

(Or some other git command?)

UPDATE

Based on the answers and comments the following is what I'm currently using.

> git log v0.1.1.. --decorate | grep -Eow 'tag: ([a-zA-Z0-9.-_]*)' | awk '{ print substr($0, 6); }'
task_2043
task_2311
v0.1.2

> git log v0.1.1.. --decorate | grep -Eow 'tag: ([a-zA-Z0-9.-_]*)' | awk '{ print substr($0, 6); }' | grep -Eo 'task_.*'
task_2043
task_2311

SECOND UPDATE

New selected answer. This is exactly what I was looking for initially. Much more elegant.

> git tag --contains v0.1.1
v0.1.1
task_2043
task_2311
v0.1.2

> git tag --contains v0.1.1 | grep -Eo 'task_.*'
task_2043
task_2311

git tag --contains v0.1.1 will show you all tags that contain the given tag -- i.e. tags from which you can trace back in history and reach the given tag.
