Bundle
******

The best way to create a compressed version of a repository is with a bundle.
It will be significantly smaller than a tarball or a zip file.

To include all revisions, simply specify the ``null`` base.  After release
0.9.5 the switch ``--all`` was added as an alias to ``--base null``, so you
can use ``hg bundle --all project.hg`` instead.
