How to build eTags for a source tree on a remote host "Tramp"

Question

I am using TRAMP to connect remotely to the servers where the source tree is. I havent figured a way to build eTags for the tree "relative" to the remote server. Meaning, the server might look like: /ssh:server1:/home/user/tree

Looking up eTags from inside emacs looks for the directory: /home/user/tree instead.

Any pointers how this could be fixed?

I had this problem too, a while back; I haven't gotten around to putting together a fully general solution, but you may find some value in the Perl script I hacked up to do the job, which served my admittedly simple purpose at the time.
