As the person who suggested this concept, I have to admit I've yet to think of a good way around this issue. 
Preventing "branching" is all very well, but sometimes it is relivent to have a branch (although I usually try to
avoid them).  Unless elog scans every possible branch to find where the latest entry, I cannot think of a
foolproof, practical scheme.
