Git keeps surprizing me with it's power. I would like to know if this exists as well in some form in Hg/Bzr...

I _believe_ this idea was taken from Hg, actually. Though it's not new - 'bundle' has been in Git for almost 3 years now, since 1.5.1

I am only recently using Git for larger projects and in more different ways. It's great how you can give it a twist to the way you work :).

hg export, hg import

no, i think that maps to 'git format-patch' and 'git am' for creating and applying patches as email. there is actually an 'hg bundle' command that does largely the same thing as 'git bundle'

Thanks for the correction. Hg newbie.

Good to know! I can imagine using 'git bundle'.

Um, this idea was taken from BitKeeper which has had this feature for 10 years.

I know it's not cool to give BK any credit but almost 100% of what is in git, hg, bzr came from BK and you can go dig through the history and prove that for yourself.

And that is why annoying one of the better programmers in the world today by withdrawing his free license is a bad idea. Git only exists because Linus didn't want to migrate to the commercial version of BK.
