The only reason is that nowhere in the Cocoa API are aliases  
available -- but 1.2 will use aliases.

Initially TextMate was made to deal only with groups of added files  
(like Xcode, which I modeled it after), and folder references were  
then added as an afterthought (with the ability to mix live folder  
references and static groups/files) -- this is why files in the  
project drawer doesn't always work as expected. This is also  
something I'll correct for 1.2.
