Yes, I agree. I do not want these in the Subversion bundle as other  
than either “hidden” behind the option key, or as environment  
variable toggled.

Keeping them in its own bundle for now I think is best, and then not  
use the ctrl-shift A key, because that ruins the ‘type to select’  
feature of the menu system. So probably use ctrl-shift-cmd A.

+1 to both :)

You can re-order the items in the bundle editor. But ‘type to select’  
works a little flaky when the items are not alphabetized. I think the  
system picks the first match as if the items where actually  
alphabetized, so the actual ordering has no influence on whatgets  
picked.
