HG bundle file size

[Sebastian Unger]

Hi Matt,

No, no binary files involved. I'll try the --type none when I get to work.
But I tried one other thing late last night:

When I bundle up the changesets in question one by one in individual files,
they are each only a couple hundred bytes long. Maybe a KB altogether.

One thing to note about these changesets is, that they're not related. They
are additional heads added off of historic points in the repo with fixes so
that these points can be rebuilt using a newer environment. Maybe that's a
factor here.

I'll let you know what I find with --type none in two hours give or take.

Cheers,
Seb
