Bug Description
It would be nice to be able to use bzr visualise to view the individual commits of a bundle.
How this would work I'm not really sure (I'm not sufficiently up to speed on the internals of all of this yet), but I see it working like this...
Add an 'Open Bundle' option to the file menu, and also allow a bundle filename to be specified at the command line as an argument.
It might be required that viz has access to a related branch in order for the bundle to make sense, in which case it would need to be already open with history from that branch, or in a related branch when being launched with the bundle filename on the command line. In this case, the bundle's commits would be applied to the branch's history as though it had been merged.
For many extra points, it would be fantastic to be able to open up a bundle in viz direct from the email client without having to save it first, though that's probably outside of the scope of this project.

That would be nice indeed. I haven't played around with the Bundle format, so I can't say if it's feasible. I've also long wanted the viz to be able to open a branch from the file menu -- adding the ability to visualize bundles would be awesome indeed.
