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.
