[TxMt] Large projects?

I would like to be able to use Textmate with very large directory trees. I have a tree that has well over 100,000 files in it, and when I try to open the top-level directory, I get the spinning beach ball. I end up having to terminate Textmate, losing any other open sessions.

The behavior I'd like is for Textmate to only look at the top level directory, and to browse into lower level directories as I open them. I *think* that it is actually trying to read in the entire directory tree, but this is not a good idea in this case (my file system also happens to be NFS mounted).

Any chance of supporting this in the future?

Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks, Bob
