Michael Dürig commented on OAK-4103:
------------------------------------
The simplest way to implement this would probably be to introduce a special
kind record type (e.g. {{RecordType.ROOT_NODE}}). Then we could just scan
backwards through the segments until we find the first root node. However, we
need to be very careful here as this could easily re-introduce OAK-4291 through
the back door.

> Instead of writing the current head revision to the {{journal.log}} file we
> could make it an integral part of the node states: as OAK-3804 demonstrates
> we already have very good heuristics to reconstruct a lost journal. If we add
> the right annotations to the root node states this could replace the current
> approach. The latter is problematic as it relies on the flush thread properly
> and timely updating {{journal.log}}. See e.g. OAK-3303.
