Another thing I noticed, the list of bundles in the filter list isn't sorted.
Yes -- that’s also part of the “issue” :)
One more question.. what's the preferred location for bundles? /Library/Application Support... or ~/Library/Application Support.... (when doing a svn checkout?)
When you edit bundles from within TextMate, it will save your changes to: ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles
That means, if you do a svn checkout directly to this location, you will edit the files from svn, and so, you may get merge conflicts and/ or you will have a very hard time separating your custom (new) stuff from the stuff you checked out, e.g. if you want to zap the checkout (unless you are somewhat skilled with svn and the shell).
Therefor I have recommended doing the checkout in /Library, as then it will stay untouched by TM, and any customizations done, are kept in ~/Library.
Starting with r1019 it is however now possible to keep things in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles
TextMate will install new bundles and bundle items to this location, but it will never edit the bundles there. So this is the new recommended location for additional bundles (it is better than / Library in the sense that this is user-local, but effectively it is the same).
I should add that (also starting with r1019) the customizations stored in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles are actual delta-files. Meaning that it is now possible to edit key equivalent, scope selector, name, folding patterns of a language grammar, or similar for a non-local item, and still see the other properties of this item update in the future (when the non-local version gets updated).
