There actually are two types of projects, and the distinction between them is the way they relate to the filesystem. :)
The "File->New Project" kind of project is a kind of document with links to files and folders that you have added to that project. If on the other hand you drag a folder to TextMate, then you create a project directly related to that folder, with all the contents readily available.
In the first kind of project you have *references* to files and folders, and you can rearrange those to your liking, including adding groups (which have no counterpart in the filesystem), in the latter kind of project you are working directly on the filesystem, and rearranging files means that they are moved.
So is there a difference between:
1) In the finder, drag the icon of a folder to the textmate application icon and 2) In textmate File>New Project, then drag the icon of the same folder to the empty project drawer?
