This is sort of a bug (actually a bad design decision) that is on the  
list of things to fix.

The autocomplete command is depending on some patches I made to the  
Dialog2.tmplugin so it probably won't work properly until we get a new  
build of textmate.  You could also checkout Dialog2.tmplugin and build  
it on your machine.

I'm not sure about why anyone uses the “watch document” command?   
It just does a new build every time you save right?  But ⌘R does a  
save before it builds.  If you want a rebuild to be triggered when you  
save, just rebind Typeset & View to ⌘S.

I am planning a little more flexible project master system.  I don't  
think it's very convenient setting %!TEX root = in _every_ file that  
is below the master.  Already, you can set TM_PROJECT_MASTER=relative/ 
path/to/project_master.tex as a project env variable or in TextMate's  
preferences to set the master file.  This is for the whole project  
though.  I'd like to (optionally) have separate master files for each  
directory (so you can setup a special master for your tikz files and  
so on).  Also, it would be great to have a per-language master files.   
So you can set TM_LATEX_MASTER and TM_RUBY_MASTER, and you'll have a  
different project master in latex files than in ruby files.
