I use this script to exchange bundles between home and work. It uses a 
local tag "REMOTE" to mark the presumed tip of the remote repository. If 
it is called with arguments it unbundles the files it is given, 
otherwise it creates a bundle.

#! /bin/ksh
if [ "$*" ]
then
     for arg in $*
     do
         echo "unbundling $arg"
         hg unbundle $arg
         rm $arg
     done
     hg update
else
     APP=`basename $PWD`
     NUMBER=`date "+%G%m%d%H%M"`
     CHANGESET="/tmp/$APP-changeset-$NUMBER.hg"
     hg bundle -q --base REMOTE $CHANGESET
     synchmail $CHANGESET $APP
     echo "changeset: " $CHANGESET
fi
hg tag --local -f REMOTE


The script "synchmail" sends an email message:

#! /bin/ksh
nail -s "[$2] $1" -a $1 -A smithmr user at host.com.au < /dev/null
