See http://bugs.python.org/issue6715 (xz compressor support) for the corresponding entry in Python's tracker. Deferred until Python supports xz

Not likely to happen until Python supports it natively, as it does for bzip2 and gzip. Until then, you can create uncompressed bundles and compress them with lzma.

It would be nice if \|hg bundle\| supported LZMA compression in addition to the current options. LZMA is now in the public domain (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lzma ) and generally compresses better than bzip2.
