I'm becoming more convinced that my original model is correct.  That
there really aren't two kinds of PROJECTS, but that there are three
different objects which can be in the project drawer:

1) File references
2) Folder references
3) Groups

1 and 2 are references to the corresponding things on the file system.
3 only exists inside TextMate.

In experimenting with a project which I created by dragging a rails
app directory icon from the finder to a new TextMate project drawer,
I've noticed that I can drag additional file and folder references to
the top-level of the project drawer, but not to a folder reference.

I can also create groups in the top-level of the project drawer, and
group file references in the top level, and put groups inside groups,
but I can't put a file reference in a group, or a group in a folder
reference.
