--rev can be used to limit the head revisions to be included in the bundle
file. For example, if the destination repo has changes up to rev.1 and you
do "hg bundle --rev 2", only rev.2 will be included in the bundle.

If --all specified, hg assumes the destination repo has no revision, so
"hg bundle --rev 2 --all" will include rev.1 and 2. --base specifies the
revisions which can be excluded from the bundle file.
