 git_buildbot.py currently ignores tags ("Ignoring refname
 `refs/tags/TEST': Not a branch"). We have a build process that generates
 package versions from tags, so when tags are pushed the packages should be
 rebuilt. I hacked git_buildbot.py to do this:

 {{{
         m = re.match(r"^refs\/tags\/(.+)$", refname)
         if m:
             logging.info("Tag detected: %s"%refname)
             c = {'revision': m.group(1),
                  'comments': 'tag %s'%m.group(1),
                  'branch': m.group(1),
             }
             c['category'] = 'default'
             c['repository'] = unicode(repository, encoding=encoding)
             c['who'] = 'The Tagger'
             c['files'] = ['none']
             changes.append(c)
         else:
 }}}

 Obviously hardcoding "commit" details like this is a poor solution but it
 works. It would be nice to have proper support for tags in git_buildbot,
 so that the correct commit details are passed on.
