It's not necessarily the repoid you pulled the object from though.  It may
be the repoid of another completely separate repository.

Repo A -  creates object  HEAD = (A)
Repo B -  pulls objects from Repo A  FAST FORWARD HEAD = (A)
Repo C -  pulls from Repo B

Now as you traverse the history in Repo C, the object will show as coming
from Repo A, not Repo B.
