Well, right now in bzr we do have the reverse. You can say:
bzr commit -m "Foo" change1 dir2/change

I'm not sure if
bzr commit -m "just dir2" dir2/

works properly.

Also, there is the shelf plugin provided by bzrtools. Which lets you specifically pack up some of your changes (undo) so that you can bring them out later. Eventually we want to integrate some sort of undo using changesets.

So there are some workarounds right now, but I do agree that some sort of exclude files option would be nice.
Do we want to read from a file, use a regex, or take a series of --exclude (-x?)

I would tend to read exact names from a file, since that is the easiest way to get multiple files. Though we could use the --exclude=@filename that some programs use.
