possibly, though that assumes a sort of 1 project <-> 1 database
relationship, otherwise which head would you mean?

I think I'd be happy just with a clear warning in that case, and a
separate 'branch (get|set|list)' command which operates on the
persistent MT/branch value. Then I can just add another step in the
tutorial for "setting up" a branch using this command. I don't think
it matters so much if this is a semi-fictitious state, considering
that the "usual" arrangement is for branches to be kinda disjoint and
long lived.

hmm, what is the sharing problem?
