That has the disadvantage of pushing to bundle when you make an error 
in the lastpart of path to existing repository.

As I wrote in another reply, I would not allow overwriting an existing 
file.

Specifying a non-existing file should be good enough.

What I meant here that if you do "git push /some/path/to/rpeo.git", with 
mistake in the last part of path to repository, you would end up with a 
bundle, and you would have to really watch what happened to catch the 
error.

I use tab completion all the time, so this would not happen to me.  IMHO 
that is a lesser issue than to introduce a "protocol".

When I copy'n'paste pathname I sometimes catch return / linefeed in
the middle, ending with incorect pathname (which would create bundle).
Tab completon is not always solution (tab completion can be slow,
or nonexistent).

[cut]

But I agree that because "git create bundle" needs refspecs _and revlist_,
while "git push" gets only refspecs because it calculates revlist it would
be better to have to use "git bundle create" to create bundle.

Contrary to "git clone <bundle>" which should just work IMHO.
