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.
