That indeed sounds like something that should require specific 
configuration. There can be projects without a branch, or branches 
without "current project".

Or situations like the project root is not the vc root. E.g. when the 
current buffer is in a submodule (so the current branch is submodule's), 
and the project pertains to the parent repository.
