Subject: How to extract files out of a "git bundle", no matter what?
Message-ID: <87iqpgc6bn.fsf@jidanni.org>

Someone has handed you a "git bundle".
How do you get the files out of it?
If it were cpio, you would use -i, if it were tar, you would use -x...
You read the git-bundle man page.
You only get as far as
# git-bundle verify bundle.bdl
The bundle contains 1 ref
d01... /heads/master
The bundle requires these 0 ref
bundle.bdl is okay

The rest is mish-mosh. There should be an emergency example for non
git club members, even starting from apt-get install git-core, of the
all the real steps needed _to get the files out of the bundle_.

Assume the user _just wants to get the files out of the bundle_ and
not learn about or participate in some project.
