What I'm favoring, globally, is to completely separate the bundles

Downloading it the first time either, but instead would pop the bundle
manager to ask for bundles to download.
It's true that svn log will give me detailed changes to the bundles.
But it won't tell me easily what's new from the previous version I had
(I'd need to note down the revision I'm at first). Version control
logs are also rarely effective from an end-user perspective. I don't
see many applications dumping me their SCM log as "release notes"
whenever I update it.
As for the support directory, I don't see why it couldn't be a
bundle itself.
Sorry for opposing some of you guys in this discussion; I'm really
excited about this new bundle system and I want to make sure my ideas
are dropped in the pre-prod pool :)
As far as I can tell, we're not disagreeing.
What we currently have is two systems for managing bundles.
#1 Either you use the bundles that ship inside TextMate or
#2 you manually manage the bundles yourself.
With option#2 you do have the bundles completely separate from the
application.
What I think we're proposing is a way to merge the two options into one.
So that people with absolutely no clue can still get more bundles and
keep them updated, without having to wait for a new build of TextMate.
And people that know what all is going on aren't frustrated and end
up resorting to doing it manually themselves.
