What if TextMate is already open? You'd possibly want to close the 
window created for that file, but not the application, which is how cvs 
and friends know you're done editing the log file when EDITOR is a 
console editor like vi.

The only workaround I can think of is something like this (untested, 
for sh-like shells)

function tm()
{
     open -a TextMate.app "$*"
     echo -n press a key when done
     read
}

But I don't know AppleScript, maybe something better may be 
accomplished with it. Anyone?
