I'm working on a couple of Rails apps.

I have two project files for each project

A front end project file
and a main project file

I keep all the configuration stuff and other random stuff out of the  
front end project file.
That way I get
	blazing fast project wide search
	faster TODO bundle stuff
	easier management of the subversion stuff

I have a few configuration files and testing files and other random  
stuff that is unique to each developers machine and environment.  
Including a bunch of testing files and stuff.

Keeping all that stuff out of the front end project file keeps my svn  
status log nice and clean and my tree is segregated to only the stuff  
i'm working on.
