IMO this shouldn't happen because then a project is closed everytime
the user loads a file which doesn't belong to the project. This would
probably more confuse than help.

This would be cool.

Why doing this against us? Why implementing it improved porject support
with us? Whether as a plugin which extends current features or by
adding new features directly in Geany(by patches and/or svn write
access).
I think an "alternate project support" like in the GIT repo description
isn't the best idea.
