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

[...] if 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.

Current version of TextMate deals exclusively with paths to identify file uniqueness. If part of a path contains a symbolic link, TextMate often sees it as a different file, which may make it think the file is not part of the project, if for example the path of the new file or the path of the project, have different symbolic links.
