git-bundle questions

[Matthew Booth]

First a question: when creating a git bundle, is it possible to include
tags?

Secondly, has anybody given any thought to allowing a user to create a
bundle from any of the web front-ends? The reason for this request is
that I've been doing some work for a company where only corporate
standard desktops have internet access. They run Windows, and you can't
install additional software on them. This makes interacting with an
external git repository from my development servers problematic. Git
bundles do at least make this possible, but I have to create a bundle on
my laptop when I'm at home and transfer it to a server when I get to the
office. This would be a whole lot easier if I could just download the
bundle at the office.

Thanks,

Matt

I have though about adding such support to gitweb. The problem lies
in how to specify the commits and refs to bundle.

Perhaps separate CGI script would be an answer.
