[TxMt] Managing change in default bundles

[Daniel Käsmayr]

Trevor,

I guess the most sensible approach to do such things is to create a  
new bundle and override the stuff in the "old" = "original" bundle.
For example: when you have a better version of a snippet you can just  
move the snippet from the old bundle to your new one, keep its scope  
selector and keyboard shortcuts etc. And then change it. When you  
update TextMate and/or when you update from the subversion Bundle  
repository you will get new versions… which then collide and whenever  
you access that command/keystroke it will give you the popup menu --  
so you will know there might be changes in the original bundle; but  
you can also have multiple versions of a command or snippet around  
this way.

I have written a short how-to for the wiki on extending language  
grammars at http://macromates.com/wiki/Main/Howtos#bundleExtension
