Thanks Jacob, I should have said I’ve forked these bundles from github so as to be able to maintain my changes, use them on multiple machines etc. So, I don’t have a set of over-rides from pristine.

Like many of us, I suspect, I’ve got core bundles (like markdown, regex etc.) that I have customised with new snippets and commands, or just just tweaks to language.
I’d like extricate my code from these, so that 1. I can let TM2 easily update the mainstream bundle 2. I can control my mods 3. From that base of clarity, I can submit generally-useful changes back to the widely used central repo.
Are there any solutions to 1. Diffing the pristine bundle with my dirty copy? 2. Exporting modified snippets and commands to my personal repo
Ideally, the UUID exported commands would be entered into the plist of my personal repo, perhaps under “exported from <bundlename> as a menu name.
Hope others have had this problem and solved it :-) Otherwise bit of a manual trek in store for summer :-)
As far as I understand, at least for the built-in bundles, TextMate will store the changes separately from the main bundle. The built-in bundles are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles, if you make a change to one of those, it will store those changes as a diff (or rather the overrides) in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles. There’s also a directory called "Pristine Copy”, see section 5.2 here [1] for more information.

I’m interested in hearing from a bundle developer or 2 on the topic. I dabble (plug: my fork of Javascript Hinter https://github.com/loadedsith/JavascriptHinter.tmbundle)
I use homeshick https://github.com/andsens/homeshick to manage my settings/bundles. I’ve used the symlinking https://github.com/andsens/homeshick/wiki/Symlinking guide and
~/Library/Application Support/TextMate
now points to
~/.homesick/repos/textmate-settings/Application Support/TextMate
Homeshick creates a git repo under repos/[repo name]. Committing (or reverting) changes is now done in this git repository. If you like what you’ve changed you can commit or you could move the change into the bundle. For instance: If I make a change to a command, first I look at repo status, and then I move the changes in into the bundle. Remove the diffs, and re-launch TextMate.
I’m way over complicating this, I assume?
Thanks,
