As far as I understand, at least for the built-in bundles, TextMate will store the changes separately from the main bundle. The built-in bundles are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles, if you make a change to one of those, it will store those changes as a diff (or rather the overrides) in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles. There’s also a directory called "Pristine Copy”, see section 5.2 here [1] for more information.
