Yes, GetBundle is only for bundles which do not come standard with  
TextMate. The reason for this is that by checking out a bundle you  
eclipse the default version, and experience has shown us that users  
will easily forget all about this local bundle, which will quickly  
become outdated.

Yes, GetBundle will not install bundles newer than “your version of  
TextMate” since newer bundles may very well rely on new infrastructure  
(i.e. the Support library) not part of your installed version of  
TextMate.

IOW what you are trying to do is discouraged and unsupported.

If you do want to update a default bundle we recommend that either:

  1. You checkout the full repository _and keep it updated_ -- there  
is a good chance newer bundles require newer versions of files in the  
Support folder, a newer version of the Dialog plug-in, etc. So it  
really is “checkout the entire /trunk, if you want to work with really  
cutting edge”, also be sure you set version checks in TextMate to  
“Cutting Edge”, as the latest bundles may also require latest (edge)  
TextMate.

  2. In some cases, replace the bundle inside the TextMate application  
bundle. You will need to do this manually with svn, and this will only  
work if the bundle does not require latest version of Support or  
PlugIns.

Option #2 _should_ work with the Rails bundle.
