Current version of TextMate deals exclusively with paths to identify  
file uniqueness. If part of a path contains a symbolic link, TextMate  
often sees it as a different file, which may make it think the file is  
not part of the project, if for example the path of the new file or  
the path of the project, have different symbolic links.
