Is there a reason that the project view doesn't store alias's? These allow you to track files seamlessly.
The only reason is that nowhere in the Cocoa API are aliases available -- but 1.2 will use aliases.
Also, it seems wrong to be able to add a file twice to the project: shouldn't the project detect that the file is already there and just activate it's view tab?
Initially TextMate was made to deal only with groups of added files (like Xcode, which I modeled it after), and folder references were then added as an afterthought (with the ability to mix live folder references and static groups/files) -- this is why files in the project drawer doesn't always work as expected. This is also something I'll correct for 1.2.
