+OBJECT PREREQUISITES
+--------------------
+
+When creating bundles it is possible to create a fully self-contained
+bundle with all the prerequisite objects, as well as providing
+negative revisions to exclude prerequisite objects.
+
+A revision such as `new` will produce a tip with all the prerequisite
+objects needed for the `new` reference.
+
+A revision range such as `old..new` will produce a bundle tip that'll
+require any objects existing before `new` to already be present in the
+repository performing the 'git bundle unbundle' operation.
+
+A self-contained bundle without any prerequisites can be extracted
+into anywhere, even into an empty repository, or be cloned from
+(i.e., `new`, but not `old..new`).
+
 It is okay to err on the side of caution, causing the bundle file
 to contain objects already in the destination, as these are ignored
 when unpacking at the destination.
 
-`git clone` can use any bundle created without negative refspecs
-(e.g., `new`, but not `old..new`).
 If you want to match `git clone --mirror`, which would include your
 refs such as `refs/remotes/*`, use `--all`.
 If you want to provide the same set of refs that a clone directly
 from the source repository would get, use `--branches --tags` for
 the `<git-rev-list-args>`.
 
+The 'git bundle verify' command can be used to check whether your
+recipient repository has the required prerequisite commits for a
+bundle.
