It's actually a profound improvement not to have to deal with  
traditional patch files as much.  The feel... dead somehow, compared  
to a live branch which can track changes to the trunk, etc.

It should though.  In Bazaar, a bundle is essentially the revisions in  
your branch that are packaged to transport over RFC 2821 and 2822. :)   
That opens up some really cool abilities, such as sending a bundle to  
a buildbot or patch queue manager for automated testing.
