It is. It's a description of how to produce revision X given revision Y, where Y is the last-merged mainline revision. >>Bazaar bundles were designed to be used on mailing lists.

The bundle format can also support sending a single bundles that displays the series of patches, though there's currently no UI to select this. > I was under an impression that user sees only mega-patch of all the > revisions in bundle together, and rest is for machine consumption only.
