That's probably because your peer repo contains the revision 2. Try with
"--base null" option for example.

No. --all disables the outgoing discovery, which is practically the same as
setting "--base null". "hg bundle" is very similar to "hg push", in which it
generates a bundle that contains the minimal changesets needed by the peer
repository.
