Theoretically this is possible, yes, obviously there is the small chance
that between mtn automate heads and mtn automate updates a db
transaction happens, which commits a new head and therefor result in an
update to a (maybe) unwanted revision.
Yes, the chance is very, very small, but I don't feel good about this =)
