A bundle is usable like a regular repository in many contexts, and
there is a "bundle()" revset to select only revisions that exist in
the bundle. So for example:

  hg log -R path/to/bundle -r "bundle()"

...will display the log just for the changesets that exist in the
bundle. You could add "-p" to view the diffs, use "hg cat" to inspect
file contents, and so on.

(I expected it to be possible to use "hg serve" to browse the
repository as well, but it didn't work in a very quick test - I don't
know if this is a bug or a not-yet-implemented feature)

Hope that helps,

Simon
