Even simpler… ;)

Go into the bundle editor and select your bundle, hit the button at  
the bottom with two plusses to duplicate (middle button). This will  
give everything in there a unique uuid. Close the bundle editor. Then  
go into finder and delete your first bundle (in ~/Library/Application  
Support/Bundles/). Then in TextMate choose the reload bundles option  
under the Bundles menu. (You don't want to delete the bundle from  
within TextMate because then it would mark it as deleted and the old  
Shell Bundle would never appear.)

The simply rename the new bundle and everything should work just fine.

Realistically the Shell bundle was never meant to be specific to  
bash, it just has been because most people use bash so that's what  
people submitted stuff for. ;) Some of the things like command  
completion, path completion etc could actually be shared so it might  
make sense to leave it as one. But it depends how many bundle items a  
shell gets.

Also if it ends up that a lot of stuff is shared between them perhaps  
it would be good to use source.shell.*? Dunno, just a thought.
