That looks like the behavior as-is (i.e. a :tags "tagname" option)

Oh, and perhaps the :tags option should be better documented in the
manual. I tried in vain to combine tags and only just now saw the
thread that looks like it inspired the :tags option. The mailing list
posts contains the syntax ("tag1-tag2", "tag1+tag2") but since there
is no example clocktable using the :tags option in the manual:
1) it took me a while even to figure out to put the word in quotations
2) I had no idea whatsoever if multiple tags were possible

Now *this* looks like just what I was loooking for. Yes -- an option
to group by tag or even simply include a column which lists the tags.
I can do several tables, but for me this is more just to show where I
spend my time, not for billing... so it would be great to analyze the
ratios between my various "buckets" (for which I use tags to
identify).
