[TxMt] Customising bundles

[Stefan Brantschen]

Could a kind soul please summarize (or send a pointer to) what is the  
current state of the art as regards what needs to be stored where? I  
am sure it's my fault as I did not follow all discussions, but the  
few posts below tell me that I am probably not doing The Right Thing.  
I have bundles in the standard install (of course), some svn  
checkouts, as well as changes to both the standard and checked-out  
bundles, plus my own bundles.

 From this post, I assume there's a clever way of avoiding clashes  
but still be able to profit of updates:

Up to now I have all in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/ 
Bundles (plus ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support):

But this tells me that I can improve:
