10 min of reading (info "(elisp)Low-Level Kill Ring")... This morning I ask:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/90339
        Want to delete distinct regions but make capable undo by single command.

This hack based on:

   (defun kill-region (beg end &optional yank-handler)
     ....
	  (if (eq last-command 'kill-region)
	      (kill-append string (< end beg) yank-handler)
	    (kill-new string nil yank-handler)))

I look to code and found that 'org-map-entries' call 'org-scan-tags'. As
'org-map-entries' looks complicated to me I try to use more low-level
function...

'org-map-entries' also allow rich search queries:

  (info "(org)Matching tags and properties")

`+work-boss'
     Select headlines tagged `:work:', but discard those also tagged
     `:boss:'.

`work|laptop'
     Selects lines tagged `:work:' or `:laptop:'.

`work|laptop+night'
     Like before, but require the `:laptop:' lines to be tagged also
     `:night:'.

Next 20 min I search for 'org-get-buffer-tags'. This code completely satisfy
my needs:

(defun my-org-kill-by-tag (tag)
  (interactive (list (completing-read "Enter tag: " (org-get-buffer-tags))))
  (kill-new "")
  (org-scan-tags
   (lambda ()
     (let ( (last-command 'kill-region) )
       (org-cut-subtree)))
   '(member tag tags-list)
   nil) )

Is it possible to include "correct" implementation (seems that I can't able
implement one) to org-mode?

I want this feature in order to simplify precess of moving entries from job
org-file to home org-file by marking entries with tag :HOME:...
