I thought that the diff was combined diff of changes.

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_.

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.
