Something I do frequently is push small changes from a dev site to a live site. In CVS I do this by tagging the files in the dev site I want to move over with "stable", then going over to the live site (which was originally created by checking out on the "stable" tag) and doing a "cvs update". Voila.

I asked on the Subversion list how this same action would be accomplished, since they don't have tags in the CVS sense. I received several replies, which boiled down to this: create a tag, which is really just a 'cheap copy' of the current state of the repository, called /tags/stable (the /tags directory is optional, but is a convention they recommend).

I think you're somewhat missing the boat here. In CVS, there is no way to group a set of changes. Every commit stands alone. In subversion you can commit as many files as you like in one operation and you get 1 revision. Yesterday I svn committed 20-some odd files and got to revision 73 of my codebase. All of them needed to be changed together to support 1 enhancement (darn J2EE). I _know_ which set of files implemented the change now.

So what you really need is a way to pick and choose the revisions that go into your stable copy, not the individual files.
