Given that branches can be displayed in a hierarchical layout, wouldn't it be nice and consistent if the same could also be applied to tags?
I assume you mean in the Git Repositories view? Tags are usually versions or dates. Could you give an example how they could be shown in a hierarchical layout? Do you have an example use case?

Given that tags tend to accumulate to a very long list, back in the SVN days I got used to grouping them like: builds/ releases/ safety/ ... the builds/ folder hosts the long list of dates, I typically don't want to see, releases are more interesting, etc. So, e.g., today's build would be tagged with "builds/201209232000" Also: why not use per-committer tags like per-committer branches? Is it only me who does such grouping?
+1 We also have these very long lists of tags that are grouped this way. A hierarchical layout for tags would improve the usability of the view.
Yes. It's a very good feature. Also if we followed naming conventions for tags then we can filter these tags like resources in Package/Navigator view. See the question on SO http://stackoverflow.com/q/20348520/1391924
Shouldn't this be a low hanging fruit, given that the same already works for branches (via an option)?
