That makes sense. I'll try that. Thanks.
Should someone update the wiki to remove the contradiction between "You should start by checking out the latest version of the bundle you want to improve into ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles." and "Normally it is not recommended that you checkout bundles to the above location..."?
Here is what the writings are supposed to convey:
In the Manual =============
You should not checkout to ~/Library because: a) you’ll likely get merge conflicts if you modify an item and this one is later updated b) you can’t easily remove the full checkout (because it is intermixed with your stuff) if placed in ~/Library
Contributing ============
Here you do not want delta files, thus the bundle you want to edit must seem as it is in ~/Library, either by checking it out directly to ~/Library or creating a symbolic link -- so you should checkout the bundle (as the manual says), but *unlike* the manual, which says you should not do it to ~/Library, it is perfectly fine to checkout to ~/Library (alternatively create the symbolic link from ~/Library to where you checked out the bundle, i.e. /Library).
Did that make it clearer? The text on the wiki is correct, but maybe it is not clear. So please do feel free to clarify it.

What I do and it works for me (might not work for anybody else): I have the TM repository checked out to /Library/Application\ Support/ TextMate.
If I want to make changes to a bundle that I know I may want to commit later, I create a symbolic link for that bundle to ~/Library, eg for a bundle named XXX
ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/XXX.tmbundle ~/ Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
Then I can work on XXX from within TM, and submit it when done.
