Hi Gavin,
Tags and revisions in Bazaar always apply to the whole tree atomically.
If you want to deploy a mixed state of the tree, one thing you could
do is this: make a branch from the revision closest to what you want
to deploy. Then do a 'revert -r' or overwrite the files that you want
to hold at a different revision. Commit this, and deploy that
version, and you'll have a record of what was deployed.
Hope that helps.
