The bundle file is a thinly wrapped packfile, with extra information
that tells what objects in the bundle are the tips of histories and
what objects the repository the bundle gets unbundled has to have.
So your "git-bundle2text" would likely to involve fetching from the
bundle and inspecting the resulting history and the working tree
files.
