Don't ever worry about that, really: committing a corrupted revision, it
*might* happen with a buggy release, but corrupting previously working
history is simply not possible in the way that Monotone works...
because, well... it only adds and *never* change old revisions again (it
acts monotonically, as the name suggests)... and even if he did want to
break a past revision on purpose, their digital signature would be valid
no more. ;-)
