I use this so I have the full project path in the title bar:

windowTitleFile    =
'${TM_DIRECTORY:+${TM_DIRECTORY/\/path\/to\/project\///}}/$TM_DISPLAYNAME '
windowTitle        = '$windowTitleFile$windowTitleSCM'

I'd love it if I could make the path/to/project use the
$TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY though…
