Yes -- though if you want the ability to diff and merge, you could do  
a svn co of the grammar you want to edit, and then use the  
capabilities of svn to merge, diff, a.s.o. in the future -- but Gerds  
suggestion is much better, since that's a one-time fix, where with  
diff and merging, you would potentially have to handle merge  
conflicts each time the official grammar gets changed.

All that said, it's clear that the bundle editor needs to indicate,  
when the user is running with a non-default bundle item, _and_ the  
item has been updated _after_ the user did his “fork”, that there is  
an updated default value.
