Generally a colon can only follow what could be a complete sentence, so
maybe we want to say something like "The deal with bundles is that they
really are…" or "The deal with bundles is this: they really are…".

Did you want to say "needs a repository"? Or do we really need a
worktree?

Other than that, this looks fine to me. This is a much better experience
than a BUG and a nice improvement overall.
