Actually, you can use the argument you used for log directly in `hg 
bundle`. So you could use something like:

$ hg bundle --rev 'descendants(date(-30))' --base 'not 
descendants(date(-30))' out.bundle

The main issue with this approach is that "date" are somewhat 
unreliable. People can have drifting clock, and history edition 
operation that result in out-of-order operation. This is why I used 
`descendants(date(-30))` instead of simply `descendants(date(-30))`. It 
would catch "older" changeset that are descendant of 30 days one.

If you are always running the command in the same repository, you could 
also keep track of the previous sent changeset and reuse that as the base.

Can you share a bit more about your setup and workflow here ?

Cheers,
