hg bundle [-f] [-t BUNDLESPEC] [-a] [-r REV]... [--base REV]... FILE [DEST]
create a bundle file
Generate a bundle file containing data to be added to a repository.
To create a bundle containing all changesets, use -a/--all (or --base null). Otherwise, hg assumes the destination will have all the nodes you specify with --base parameters. Otherwise, hg will assume the repository has all the nodes in destination, or default-push/default if no destination is specified.
You can change bundle format with the -t/--type option. See 'hg help bundlespec' for documentation on this format. By default, the most appropriate format is used and compression defaults to bzip2.
The bundle file can then be transferred using conventional means and applied to another repository with the unbundle or pull command. This is useful when direct push and pull are not available or when exporting an entire repository is undesirable.
Applying bundles preserves all changeset contents including permissions, copy/rename information, and revision history.
Returns 0 on success, 1 if no changes found.
