I had this problem too, so I proposed exchanging bundles via email/ftp 
with --create-digest option. It is Issue 392 now and I don't have idea 
when/if it will be implemented. That would certainly solve problem for 
all those people that doesn't want even to _think_ about setting up 
Apache for this (sounds sooooo undistributed to me).

cheers,
