            Creates a single-file named <arg choice="plain">FILENAME</arg>
            for the application (or runtime) named <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg>
            in the repository at <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg>. If
            a <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg> is specified, this branch of
            the application is used.
        </para>
        <para>
            The collection ID set on the repository at

        <para>
            Unless <option>--oci</option> is used, the format of the bundle file is
            that of an ostree static delta (against an empty base) with some flatpak
            specific metadata for the application icons and appdata.
