Please note that a "git bundle" will contain the contents of the
repository (commits, log messages, etc) but not the local configuration
like .git/config, .git/info/*, nor some other information like the
reflogs (history of old values of references). This is probably what
you want.
A "tar" of the .git directory, by contrast, would include this local
information unless you exclude it explicitly.
