Actually, one reason for tagging just a few files would be to make
files where changes occur to implement (for example) an (optional)
module - where the tag name would be the module name. I do this quite
a bit within an application and when I add in some new feature/module
I then TAG (not branch).
And, actually I consider the inability to TAG (though the menu item
indicates Branch/Tag) multiple items within a directory to be a BUG. I
consider it so BECAUSE you can do it for ALL files in a directory, or
for just 1, BUT NOT for a multiple between 1 and all.

Actually, where you put the tagged files DOES effectively copy them in
the same manner as branching does.

I personally consider this to be a BUG since you can effectively do
ALL files in the directory by selecting the directly and it then
processes through all the files as if each one had been selected.
AND, before a certain someone (you know who you are) - says WHY would
you want to BRANCH just some files since you should BRANCH
directories, let me respond: Yes it is silly to BRANCH just a few
files. HOWVER, it is NOT SILLY to TAG just a few files. It is the
SILLY menu item which is at fault in this case since it indicates B
