Sounds reasonable to me. Given that this mercurial/bzr love-in is
about to take place it might be good to see what they do ..

hg bundle FILE DEST

create a changegroup file

    Generate a compressed changegroup file collecting all changesets
    not found in the other repository.

    This file can then be transferred using conventional means and
    applied to another repository with the unbundle command. This is
    useful when native push and pull are not available or when
    exporting an entire repository is undesirable. The standard file
    extension is ".hg".

    Unlike import/export, this exactly preserves all changeset
    contents including permissions, rename data, and revision history.


Sounds kinda similar :)

cheers
