Petr already mentioned that the data currently shown in the email
text isn't really useful.

In Bazaar bundles, the text of the diff is an integral part of the data.
 It is used to generate the text of all the files in the revision.

I thought that the diff was combined diff of changes.
 

Bazaar bundles were designed to be used on mailing lists.  So you can
review the changes from the diff, comment on them, and if it seems
suitable, merge them.

If you have only mega-diff, you can comment only on this mega-diff.
It is more usefull for changes which have natural mult-commit history,
to review and comment on each of commits/patches in series _separately_.

Although that might just make the email bigger for not a lot of
gain.

It's my understanding that most changes discussed on lkml are provided
as a series of patches.  Bazaar bundles are intended as a direct
replacement for patches in that use case.

As _series_ of patches. You have git-format-patch + git-send-email
to format and send them, git-am to apply them (as patches, not as branch).

I was under an impression that user sees only mega-patch of all the
revisions in bundle together, and rest is for machine consumption only.

cg-bundle doesn't have this "mega-diff", but has shortlog (does bzr
bundle has shortlog/log of changes contained therein?) and diffstat
was planned.
