My growing feeling about this is that if any apps or wrappers do, they
are buggy.  You want to find the tree root?  Use "tla tree-root".  Want
to find out the tagging method?  "tla tagging-method".  See all the
patch logs? "tla logs --merges".

I think it will be say ~/.arch-params/default-project-tree-version.

Yes.  But I think the case of two users who are using different versions
of tla but sharing a working directory would be quite uncommon, if it
would ever really happen.
