[TxMt] feature request: mate command line tool should open file as tab in project independent of path

hello,

don't really know if it's a feature request, bug report or my stupidity: if i have a project opened in textmate like this:

~/project_dir a_file.txt

and i call 'mate a_file.txt' from inside the project_dir everything is fine (file opens as tab in project window). but if i call mate from another directory with an absolute or relative path to ~/project_dir/a_file.txt, it opens in a new window which is very unconvenient for me.

if there should be a reason (can't imagine one) against this proposal, i could live with a command line option to specify the project's directory.

thanks in advance for considering it, yours kodi
