Due to an unfortunate default setting of TM_GIT in TextMate.app/…/Defaults.tmProperties you MUST set TM_GIT in ~/.tm_properties to override (in r8930) — that the Git bundle works is no indication of TM_GIT having been set properly as Git bundle is more forgiving (and use the new shell command requirement system to find required commands).

If you have verified that TM_GIT is set in ~/.tm_properties then another issue could be that you are using a non-standard file system. One user was reporting missing Git badges and SCM status view on his AES-encrypted folders (using Espionage).

I suggest you a) try a git repository on your startup (HFS+ formatted) drive and b) try a subversion repository as well (since this should work w/o any setup required).
