Here is what the writings are supposed to convey:

In the Manual
=============

You should not checkout to ~/Library because:
  a) you’ll likely get merge conflicts if you modify an item and this  
one is later updated
  b) you can’t easily remove the full checkout (because it is  
intermixed with your stuff) if placed in ~/Library

Contributing
============

Here you do not want delta files, thus the bundle you want to edit  
must seem as it is in ~/Library, either by checking it out directly  
to ~/Library or creating a symbolic link -- so you should checkout  
the bundle (as the manual says), but *unlike* the manual, which says  
you should not do it to ~/Library, it is perfectly fine to checkout  
to ~/Library (alternatively create the symbolic link from ~/Library  
to where you checked out the bundle, i.e. /Library).


Did that make it clearer? The text on the wiki is correct, but maybe  
it is not clear. So please do feel free to clarify it.
