What about the term "revision patch"?  I like the idea of leveraging
the term patch, which is well understood to mean something that can be
used to instantiate a set of changes.  And it should be fairly easy to
explain that a revision patch contains all the changes that went into
one or more revisions, not just the source code changes.

As for what the sub-command should be to generate a revision patch, I'd
suggest rdiff, and perhaps revision-diff as a longer alias.  In fact,
this suggestion works even if you prefer the term "revision bundle"
(and seems like a better command to me than "bzr bundle").
