Good point. The git repository must exist before pushing, but the bundle:

1) Exist and is a file, do nothing by default, maybe requiere a --overwrite
2) Does not exist, create the bundle, but maybe you've written badly the url, so
    the best thing would be to say explicitly that you wanted a bundle
like you said.
