Description
Instead of get_bundles() can there be a function to get_manifests() or similar to unzip() as
get_bundles(..., files = "manifest.json")?
I frequently get asked about package versions used by different apps, especially for our in-house R packages. Some bundles are filled with extraneous or very large files and it can make downloading these bundles very slow.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing get_bundles() and unzip() entry points to understand how bundle files are selected and downloaded. Add a get_manifests() option or equivalent that retrieves only manifest.json, and verify that large extraneous files are not downloaded.
