Regarding the issue of tags in folders/hierarchies I'd really like to hear
if I'm doing something that no git-guru would do/recommend.

In git the directory structure of refs is both a convention and its name.  v20111206 -> refs/tags/v20111206, build/v20111206 -> refs/tags/build/v20111206

But PDE build + git fetch factory can only take tags of the form v20111206 or the qualifier substitution yacks.  For nightlies, the same trick with CVS pulling from HEAD using fetchTag works with GIT pulling from master

Maybe PDE build or the git fetchfactory could be modified to work with more complex tags, but I don't think anybody has looked at that.  I know in the Eclipse project we just left all of our tags at refs/tags/whatever
