Do there exists some agreed upon common extension for git-bundle, or is it just *.bundle (like *.patch)? Do bundles use some magic identifier; can I add something (and what) to the 'magic' file, so "file <bundle>" would return "git bundle data" (or equivalent)?

Can I view contents of bundle in gitk or qgit, or giggle?

Look into bundle.c:

    static const char bundle_signature[] = "# v2 git bundle\n";
