> To prevent accidentally branching the repository when the {{journal.log}} became outdated (e.g. OAK-3702) we could add an additional safety feature which would prevent the repository from starting in such cases. There's a couple of concerns to address:
>  * What kind of tooling / guidance do we need to provide to recover should such a situation be detected?
>  * How do we detect the {{journal.log}} being outdated?
>  * How do we prevent false positives?
>  * How do we deal with situation where the {{journal.log}} modifications are intended (e.g. by tools, of manual interventions)?
