One thing that needs a glossover is our terminology in the CLI regarding 'database', do we want to rename all terms referring to 'database' to 'branch'?

[quinchs]

Probably also want to change /connect and /list databasees

Yes, let's rename all mentions of database to branch. We need to be consistent.

But let's do that in a separate PR.

Looks good overall, we need to pass the CI and fix the unused imports though.

[quinchs]

With edgedb.auto.toml gone, the new mechanism is to use the database field in the credentials.json file, the issue with this is that could instances don't have a credentials.json file meaning we cant use them for branching

For future reference: the failing test is caused by a bad nightly build of edgedb-server
