Description Christian Hergert 2016-02-01 11:01:51 UTC 
Currently, when not using automake, we generate ctags and place them in:

 ~/.cache/gnome-builder/<Project Name>/tags

This is sort of improper, as it makes the ~/.cache/gnome-builder directory pretty cluttered with project stuff. I'd rather have:

 ~/.cache/gnome-builder/tags/<Project Name>.tags

This should be updated in the plugins/ctags/ plugin.

This would avoid cluttering of the cache directory with project related stuff

Looks good, but can you update this patch to change ide-ctags-builder.c to generate the same path?

Thanks! LGTM

I pushed a few followup commits, because when testing this I realized I broke ctags building for the fallback (directory) build system!
