Hmm, I don't have the folder /Library/Application Support/TextMate.

What is GetBundles' console - action gear menu "Show Log" ⇧⌥⌘L ?

GetBundles is looking for a folder called .svn inside of a  
foo.tmbundle folder. This is a safety mechanism to omit updating  
bundles which are under git/svn control.

GetBundles installs all bundle in ~/Library/Application Support/ 
TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles.

This is the same folder as you install a tmbundle by double-clicking  
on it in the Finder.


Maybe try this:
- quit TextMate
- make a security copy of '/Library/Application Support/TextMate' and  
'~/Library/Application Support/TextMate'
- remove /Library/Application Support/TextMate
- remove ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate
- empty the Trash
- start TextMate
- start GetBundles (open the console ⇧⌥⌘L)
- install a bundle (first it should update the Support/lib before  
installing the bundle)
