It's a _refresh_ of the current Safari window.  Here's what I do.

1. Open a project in TextMate, and work on the file I need (eg 
eventsController.php)
2. Open Safari, and navigate to the interface/controller I'm working on 
(eg http://apo.localhost/events/list/)
3. Edit in TextMate, press Command-R to check my changes in Safari.

I think you're assuming that the command takes notice of what file 
you're editing in TM, and opens it in Safari.  It doesn't.  It was 
designed to help web app developers (running Apache, PHP, Ruby, etc) a 
quick way to test their code edits over a server, rather than a local 
file.

For simple previews of raw HTML (without server-side code), TM has a 
built-in HTML preview, which uses the Safari engine.  Window > Show Web 
Preview.
