When I open an existing project the directory structure appears in the drawer while the currently selected file contents appears within the window (which is blank when you first open an existing project). If I have the root project folder selected (text window still blank) I am unable to get the status of the subversioned folder ('svn status'). In order for me to get the status of the project I must open at least one file and then select the root project folder again and then I can get the status. This is true for other subversion commands as well (you need at least one file open in order to perform subversion commands on your project).
Is this behaviour intentional? I feel like subversion commands should work independent of whether files are open or not .. it should work on the files/folders in the project drawer only.

Hi, this is a current limitation of the way TextMate starts commands. In fact you can't start any commands (not just Subversion's) if there is no open file.
