I've followed the https://github.com/gmarik/vundle quick start guide and letting vundle to manage vundle, I maintain my dotfiles under git, so in order to verify if it will work in others computers I've deleted .vimrc and .vim to reproduce my setup.

I've added .vimrc and .vim/bundle/vundle/autoload to my git repository, and I've cloned it, however when I enter to vim and run :BundleInstall it fails *only* for vundle, the log print the following:

"fatal: destination path vundle already exists and is not an empty directory."

My settings are these:

set runtimepath+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()

I've had to delete it and clone it manually to get it working

I think it would be really cool if vundle could manage in a better way the chicken or egg problem, maybe by forcing to clone the vundle repo if its manage for itself.

Thanks and sry for the complaints, it's as it's an awesome script
