IMHO your mapping idea has kind of "identity problem". You've explained in some previous post (at GitHub AFAIR) that .tm_properties are UNIX like, but "properties" suffix isn't really common on UNIX, which tends to use "rc" or "config". Also UNIX tools keep their stuff in .toolname/ and keep away of creating .genericname/ folders.

So I am pretty against TM using .cache/

So why couldn't we just follow Git mapping, but instead of using .git prefix, we make .tm or .txmt and let the user decide whether he wants to put .tm into the the repo or put /.tm/ into .gitignore ?

It would then look following:

.tmconfig
.tm/config
.tm/session/
.tm/cache/
.tm/run/

Or:

.txmtconfig
.txmt/config
.txmt/session/
.txmt/cache/
.txmt/run/
