bundle --base 0

[Darrell Gallion]

hg bundle --base 0 hgBundle

I expected a bundle that could recreate the entire repo
But that's now what you get. You get a bundle that will update a repo with
version 0 in it already.

Why would I want this? Don't laugh.
Our team uses hg, everyone else uses clearCase. I tried checking in the .hg
directory and pulling from it, while it lived in clearCase.
Insane, I know.
It didn't work, but a bundle does work. For now I create one based on an
empty repo.

Our clearCase server is located on a planet near Mar's, so requesting the
one file hgBundle is much faster than requesting each file.
Also clearCase is a real pain to select a previous version of a group of
files. It requires you to write a configSpec.
You can see why we will go to great lengths to use hg. I could go on and on
about the problems with clearCase.
