restoring git repository from bundle backup

Question

i created backups of my git repository like in How to backup a local Git repository? proposed with

git bundle create /tmp/foo-all --all

I can see all refs are in there, including a remote ref created by git-svn. Now I can't figure out how to restore this bundle to a local repository again. I am quite quite sure i've done it already once. I tried git-clone but that gives me a just a repository with my backup bundle as remote repo.

I also tried

git init
git bundle unbundle /tmp/foo --all 

but this just lists all references...

Verifying the bundle gives:

$ git bundle verify $somewhere/foo.bundle 
The bundle contains 12 refs
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/master
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/heads/xxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refs/remotes/git-svn
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HEAD
The bundle requires these 0 ref
$somewhere/foo.bundle is okay
