The directions say to check them out to /Library/Application Support/Textmate, but the release notes (and Allan's previous email), said the place for new bundles is the "Pristine Copy" folder. Is that folder just for bundles? What about the rest of the items that are currently in /Library/Application Support.... ?
Currently Pristine Copy is only for bundles. So keep the checkout in / Library.
The only difference with Pristine Copy is that this folder is always writable by the current user, meaning that TextMate itself can install in that folder w/o worrying about admin privileges. So the appearance of this folder is not related to svn checkouts.
In fact, even when themes and plug-ins will be taken from Pristine Copy, it may still be advantageous to keep the svn checkout in / Library, as there are really three “types” of bundles:
custom bundles -> ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles
subversion bundles -> /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles
other 3rd party bundles -> ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles
The latter category would be anything you double-click (to install), e.g. bundles (and bundle items) sent to this list. There is probably some value in keeping bundles from svn separate from other 3rd party bundles.
