Why not?  It seems preferable to use .bundle since it is more easily 
recognized, but .bdl is nice for system that are limited to a 3 byte 
extensions.  Existing MIME types have multiple extensions.  It is unlikely Git 
is run on a system that only allows 3 bytes extensions though, most of the 
ones that I'm aware of don't like 38 byte filenames.  

I'm warming to this patch
