This folder is only for customized / custom bundles, or installed “manually”. The folder is not created before it is required.

That is fine, well, except for the fact that DropBox seems to trigger a file system bug that cripple file system notifications, which is a problem for TextMate because it relies solely on these, to learn when bundles are updated.

I don’t know how widespread the problem is though, but now you’re warned.

Long-term we’ll have to create some fallback code that polls the file system.
