Don't blame Gap - blame their suppliers.
In this case, it was a vendor who outsourced to the sweatshop - so already, you're getting fairly removed from the parent company.
I don't think any large corporation would knowingly manufacture clothing in a sweatshop.
I think they took the appropriate steps to address the issue.
Unfortunately this is not the first time that they have promised that it would not happen again. I think they should be punished as they a faulty at choosing decent subcontractors. If they have no idea where they are getting the labor from, is it really justified to just turn a blind eye to them? It seems that a profitable business would want to take pride in the manufacturing of their goods.
