Oh, I thought you weren't sure whether there were any docs to look at.

Right.  Everything from "# Begin bundle" to EOF.

The history is that bzr gained bundle support first, sort of inferring
the requested merge from the bundle's tip revision.  Separately, we had
a specialized format for requesting merges via PQM.  Then I came up with
"merge directives", which unify these cases and make things explicit,
e.g. with cherrypicks.  Bundle Buggy was named before this.
