In fact, git is the only popular DVCS I know of without support for this sort of operation...

As for distinguishing bundles, this isn't particularly difficult: just look at the first line. Daniel: it is good to hear that you can do something similar with Darcs (I wasn't claiming that this feature is unique). Your second example sounds similar to the "bzr bundle-revisions" command, which can also be used from a single branch or offline. I only described the use of "bzr bundle" since it is less likely to create a bundle that the recipient can't use.

In your example, it looks like you used .diff, but I imagine that using .diff could get confusing if you need to know at a glance whether it's a udiff or a bundle. I think that I've seen a few people using .bundle as the extension, but I am in no way sure if that's standardized in any way. What is the recommended file extension for a bundle?
