Subject: Apply git bundle to source tree?

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to apply a particular head in a bundle
to a source tree, for example:

  $ git bundle create v5.9-rc1.bundle v5.8..v5.9-rc1
  $ cd linux-5.8
  $ git bundle APPLY ../5.9-rc1.bundle v5.9-rc1

That would allow to reconstruct either the original repository or just
the underlying source tree, so the bundle could be used as a kind of
super diff.

Thanks,
Andreas
