As stated earlier, tags only apply to revisions. 

There may come a time when you only want to deliver a "view" of a branch. CVS
style tags provide a nice mechanism for doing this. 

The only satisfying solution that I've found to this problem using monotone is
to create a new branch, 'a.b.c.delivery' from 'a.b.c'. Drop all of the files on
a.b.c.delivery that are not to be delivered. 

Then you can propagate changes from a.b.c to a.b.c.delivery as needed. Just be
careful not to propagate back (or merge) from the a.b.c.delivery to a.b.c, or
the drops will come back to haunt you.
