it's easy to understand the complexity such virtual grouping  
introduces. nevertheless i really would like to see this grouping in  
tm 2, too :).

so i went off, created a folder and symlinked my project and framework  
into it. the svn-bundle is fine with it but the mercurial-bundle is  
not. i assume that the problem lies in the fact that mercurial does  
not search for its .hg folder where the file, one has given along,  
resides. in short: it doesn't care where the file resides, it just  
tries to find it's .hg folder.
my idea would be to take the first selected file ( or just the current  
file if nothing is selected ), set the working directory to the one of  
the file, run hg root to get the project-path, set the working  
directory to the project-path and run the command on the file as  
usual. this should work fine with many files within the same hg-root,  
but of course not with virtual grouping or adventurous symlinking :)

ok... dreamed enough :)
