I doubt this can be done with the current version of TextMate but I want to
put it out there and see what people suggest.
When working on git repositories, I find myself jumping from branch to
branch often. We use branches heavily in my company for everything from
little on-demand bug fixes to entirely new features. Most times switching
branches means closing all tabs and opening tabs relevant to the selected
branch. It also often involves expanding a number of folders in the drawer
but this happens less often as I am a keyboard freak and rarely use the
drawer.
It would be awesome if switching branches could trigger TM to close the
current tabs and open the ones being worked on the last time this branch was
selected. Even better if cursors were moved to the right positions too.
Now, I realize this is too specific for TM to have natively but it would be
nice nonetheless. I wonder if a plugin could do this? Maybe by using git
branch identifiers as keys to layout specifications that can be saved
elsewhere as plugin data.
Does this sound doable? Can anyone point me in the right direction to
documentation that I can use to maybe give this a shot? I'm happy to work on
a plugin if people are interested in something like this.
Cheers.

We use git for our repository, and I find that TextMate does a pretty good
job of switching between branches as-is. Actually, git is doing all the
work, and TextMate is simply responding to (mostly) the disappearance and
modifications of files.
So, I know that you are asking for more below, but I thought it might be
useful to identify what's already out there, at least for git.

hi
I just did a test, and you can version the .tmproj file itself.
i did a test, and it seems to store tab state.
you have to close the project and reopen it after switching branches though.
if you could script that action to reopen the project after, you should have all your tabs
restored.

Yeah, but I think a lot of the stuff he’s after is stored as extended attributes. Even if
Git could track those, I don’t think I would want it to. Imagine dozens of commit messages
that simply said “I moved the cursor”.

The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.

I think this would be too complex to do with a plug-in (even with the
use of class dump).
We are however moving to more open “session info” (with stashability),
problem is that document specific data (such as caret position,
bookmarks, etc.) is stored with the file (using extended attributes),
something git strips when you switch branches.
I’ll keep your use-case in mind.
