 For whatever reason, direct connection between A and B is not allowed,
 but we can move data from A to B via some mechanism (CD, email, etc).
 We want to update R2 with developments made on branch master in R1.

+To create the bundle you have to specify the basis. You have some options:
+
+- Without basis.
++
+This is useful when sending the whole history.
+
+------------
+$ git bundle create mybundle master

+
+- Using temporally tags.

 We set a tag in R1 (lastR2bundle) after the previous such transport,
 and move it afterwards to help build the bundle.
 
-in R1 on A:
-
 ------------
 $ git-bundle create mybundle master ^lastR2bundle
 $ git tag -f lastR2bundle master
 ------------
 
-(move mybundle from A to B by some mechanism)
+- Using a tag present in both repositories

+------------
+$ git bundle create mybundle master ^v1.0.0

+
+- A basis based on time.

+$ git bundle create mybundle master --since=10.days.ago

-in R2 on B:
+- With a limit on the number of commits
 
 ------------
-$ git-bundle verify mybundle
-$ git-fetch mybundle  refspec
+$ git bundle create mybundle master -n 10

-where refspec is refInBundle:localRef
+Then you move mybundle from A to B, and in R2 on B:
