I keep my tags at the project level, so that I have the following:
root
|
\Project1
\tags
\branches
\Project2
\tags
\branches
And so on. Tagging the whole repository would just add clutter IMHO.
The idea is that if I look at \Project1, the whole history of that
project is right there - tags, branches, trunk, everything. If tags
were at the same level as Project1 (right off the root), I'd have to
look in multiple places to get that same information.
It sounds like you need a combination of externals (to pull everything
required to work on a project into one checkout) and a script to help
tagging (so that the externals in your tags point at the appropriate
revisions of those externals, and (it sounds like) create a tag for
those external elements as well).
