Is it possible to pull bundles, not only merge them?

Well, I've actually done:

bzr merge bundle
bzr revert
bzr pull -r revid:last_id_from_bundle --overwrite .

Which is how I made a mirror of your changes.

I agree, though, that doing:

bzr pull bundle

Is nicer when you want to work in that format.

How about I go refactor the bundle stuff so that it can take a
Transport, and create a convenience function that both merge and pull
can use.
