I often want to open the entire directory I'm working in by using the mate command, but how do I pass in the working directory itself?

For example, if I'm working in a rails app and I want to open the app folder into the TextMate tree, I would do mate app, but how could I pass in the working directory itself (i.e. open the entire rails app in the tree)?
