I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.
