[TxMt] Re: New “GetBundles” release needs your help

[Desmond Brand]

I checked out from SVN (r10840), but when I open the Get Bundles item it
says "An error occurred, please check the log. The log contains:

11/21/2008 18:10:37    TextMate[GetBundles]
GetBundles' DIALOG runs at token 1

11/21/2008 18:10:38    TextMate[GetBundles]
Structural error in Bundle Server File

It's a fresh install of TextMate 1464.
