I want to contribute some patches to the Perforce bundle, but I need to clear up some confusion first...

http://macromates.com/wiki/Bundles/HowToContribute tells me to start by checking out the latest version into ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles. (That's where the Perforce bundle is now, which I downloaded using the GetBundle bundle.)

But http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/bundles#installing_a_bundle tells me to create /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/ and install them there.

Then I'm further confused by the following in http://macromates.com/wiki/Bundles/HowToContribute:

Normally it is not recommended that you checkout bundles to the above location [~/Library/..., I guess], because when you change the bundle items from inside TextMate, it saves changes to ~/Library/…, potentially leading to merge conflicts if the files are updated in an incompatible way on the server.

If you already have done a full checkout of the repository to /Library then you can instead do a symbolic link...

So what should I do? Should I check out the Perforce bundle to /Library/... or ~/Library/...? Should I ignore the instructions to create a symbolic link, since I haven't done a full checkout to /Library/...?
