I think the real problem is that git bundle verify does not actually verify
the contents. Maybe there is another command which can check the contents of
a bundle for corruption? A added the git mailing list to CC, maybe someone
there knows more.

Note for readers on the mailing list: the bundler service Omid is referring to
is the one that I host here: http://bundler.caurea.org.
