Unless I've misunderstood the question, can't you just pull from the bundle into the related repo?

 hg -R <related-repo> pull <bundle>

If that isn't what you meant, perhaps the "bundle()" revset function will help you. Something along the lines of:

  hg -R <bundle> log -r "heads(bundle())"

Do either of those help?
