As an end user, I found this very surprising. I was expecting to call:
git clone <repo-bundle>
and have this behave just like:
git clone <ssh-or-https-target>

If you want that equivalency, then you need to create the bundle either
directly from <ssh-or-https-target>, or a mirror clone thereof.  By
using a regular clone as the source for the bundle you already have a
different type of repository than the one you see at the
<ssh-or-https-target>.

echo ""
echo "Clone the repo via SSH"
git clone git@UBUBEAR:external_sources/matrice_sq.git matrice_sq

echo ""
echo "View available remote branches"
(cd matrice_sq && git branch -r)

Compare the output of "git ls-remote matrice_sq" with the output of "git
ls-remote git@UBUBEAR:external_sources/matrice_sq.git"
to see the difference between the two repositories.

echo ""
echo "Pack the bundle for offline distribution"
(cd matrice_sq && git bundle create ../matrice_sq.bundle --all)

The bundle picks up the refs from your local clone matice_sq, which is
different from the list of refs you'll see in the external source.
