Description
Currently `db.put` will merge previous values for a key. It would be useful to be able to put to a specific head without merging. This would enable the user to delay decisions about merging until later. This would require that a property is exposed on `db.get` that allows the user to specify which record they are updating.

Research direction
Start by tracing the db.put and db.get entry points to understand how previous values and heads are currently handled. Determine the API and record identity needed to target one head without merging, then verify that callers can defer merging decisions and that existing behavior remains intact.
