--root='.' should do limit the search for MT to the current directory,
but that isn't quite what you want I guess.

Another alternative might be to adjust the non-working copy commands to
never look for MT. At the moment, they all go looking but continue on if
they don't find it. It might be a bit of a trick to do this timing-wise
though, iirc the search for MT is done before the details of the command
(i.e. whether it's a working dir command or not) have been determined.

Not sure?
