Then tla should preserve the files in the tree, and should copy them if 
it copies the tree (which is rare), but should not commit them to the 
archive.

If you're using explicit tagging, I'd recommend using untagged-source. 
That will prevent you from committing or updating until you add ids for 
new directories or files (or else classify them as non-source). 
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with tagline at the moment, but that 
should be fixed in tla 1.2.2.
