So is there a difference between:

Yes, there are two (small) differences:
- The first one will not allow you to add more folders, whereas the
second one will.
Either way is perfectly happy to let you add more folders
- when closing the project, the second one will ask you to save, the
first one will just close.
You're right… but this is a minor difference indeed. :)
I'm becoming more convinced that my original model is correct. That there really aren't two kinds of PROJECTS, but that there are three different objects which can be in the project drawer:
1) File references 2) Folder references 3) Groups
1 and 2 are references to the corresponding things on the file system. 3 only exists inside TextMate.
In experimenting with a project which I created by dragging a rails app directory icon from the finder to a new TextMate project drawer, I've noticed that I can drag additional file and folder references to the top-level of the project drawer, but not to a folder reference.
I can also create groups in the top-level of the project drawer, and group file references in the top level, and put groups inside groups, but I can't put a file reference in a group, or a group in a folder reference.
