This patch makes git-bundle greatly complicates one of my primary uses: a nightly update generated and emailed to other users. With this, I need to write code to separately explore each branch in the repository to find what changed, then include only those. Without, I can just do git bundle ... <list of refs> and those which have been updated get included.

So, I would really like an option to error out only if the bundle would be empty.
