Help: bundle

hg bundle [-f] [-t TYPE] [-a] [-r REV]... [--base REV]... FILE [DEST]

create a changegroup file

    Generate a compressed changegroup file collecting changesets not known to
    be in another repository.

    If you omit the destination repository, then hg assumes the destination
    will have all the nodes you specify with --base parameters. To create a
    bundle containing all changesets, use -a/--all (or --base null).

    You can change compression method with the -t/--type option. The available
    compression methods are: none, bzip2, and gzip (by default, bundles are
    compressed using 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.

options:

 -f --force             run even when the destination is unrelated
 -r --rev REV [+]       a changeset intended to be added to the destination
 -b --branch BRANCH [+] a specific branch you would like to bundle
    --base REV [+]      a base changeset assumed to be available at the
                        destination
 -a --all               bundle all changesets in the repository
 -t --type TYPE         bundle compression type to use (default: bzip2)
 -e --ssh CMD           specify ssh command to use
    --remotecmd CMD     specify hg command to run on the remote side
    --insecure          do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts
                        config)

[+] marked option can be specified multiple times
