1. I need to have ability to make tags, branches thru all subprojects.
I suspect that this is a bad idea -- for the same reason as committing
to a subproject is a bad idea. The subprojects most likely have their
own external repositories -- and lifecycles of their own. The same
headname/branchname won't do.
This is one main idea of supporing subprojects. Everything else I already can 
do. I want to be able to make tag over composite project and be able to fetch 
tagged files later. The same with branches.

I cleary understand if I made tag/branch on subproject outside my composite 
project I will not be able to work with it - this is ok.

But tag/branches on whole composite project is "the must".

I hope it is possible to teach git (or may be something else) to scan all 
subprojects and fetch common tags/branches and work with them.
