Yes, that is the intent. The user should be able to get an overview on 
what the project is made from, shouldn't she ?

It's nice to present super-intelligent logical views, but when it gets 
to file and version management, it always boil down to distinct files. A 
specific project nature may, of course, turn the view off, if disturbing 
for that project's use cases.
