About tagging... It looks super ackward to me to tag EVERY commit with "build information". Building does not mean releasing... I prefer the other way around: we tag builds with commit information. Like that we know how to reproduce the build.
I'm ok with tagging build artifacts by explicitly saying "this is BUILD #X", which is ~= from "this is RELEASE #X". Moreover, before we needed to store ALL versions of the image because that was the way we versionned the system. Now, every commit in the #development branch should be buildable (delta some bugs of course ;)). This means that we can rebuild all images by just iterating the git history and building from scratch. No need to store all images.
