Colour me dense, but how does one go about accomplishing this feat? The Plugins directory in my TextMate.app does not have SVN metadata...
There are two things needed. The one is Dialog.tmplugin, which needs to reside in a PlugIns directory, either inside TextMate.app or ~/ Library/Application Support/TextMate, or even better /Library/ Application Support/TextMate. For that you would need to follow the instructions for getting more bundles in http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/ bundles#getting_more_bundles in order to check out http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/PlugIns The net effect should be a directory /Library/Application\ Support/ TextMate/PlugIns, containing Dialog.tmplugin.
Further, you need an updated (from svn) global Support directory, in / Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Support
Unfortunately this is not entirely trivial, though the following lines should accomplish it, provided that you already have /Library/ Application Support/TextMate, and you have installed svn (subversion). The alternative is to just wait for the next TM version.
cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate svn co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/PlugIns svn co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Support
If you already have the Support directory there, then you would want to replace that last command with: svn up Support
Hope this helps, Haris
