Well, to mirror the archive download, bundle --base null would be useful, i.e.
enough to make a full clone.

What kind of bundles? From a chosen rev to (a chosen rev or) tip?

If you allow pulling from the repo, you are already subject to a
potential malicious DoS (not from an accidental one from a crawler, but
if you do it as a POST method it won't happen, I believe web crawler
will never do POST).

Note that just as with the archive links, creating a bundle is relatively
expensive and there is a potential for DoS - whether accidental from a web
crawler, or malicious.

this could be presented next to the archive/rss links

It would be nice to add the ability to download bundles from a repository
accessed through hgweb with a simple browser.
