Indeed it is, but it uses some libraries for creating its dialogs and  
such. These libraries typically live in the global support directory,  
under the subdirectory lib. Typically, these don't get updated very  
often, so usually the version of the support directory that is built  
into textmate has all the necessary commands, and the variable  
TM_SUPPORT_PATH points to that. In our case, these libraries were  
added 3 days or so ago, and there hasn't been a textmate release  
since, hence this built in support directory is out of date. That's  
why you need to check out this directory too. Theoretically you could  
remove this directory once a new textmate version is out, though in  
general I would advice keeping it around and updating. It is more up- 
to-date than the built in one, and if you are already checking out  
bundles, it's not that hard to manage one more directory.
