Ah, so would it be good to read from the database? Because I was giving
full path of layers in the toasterconf.json file. I assume that layer
information from the toasterconf.json file would be updated in the database?

A bit more explanation would help me move further to improvise the patch.
If you don't mind please? So if I understand correctly a separate function
should be there to handle HEAD branches provided by toasterconf.json file,
right?
