"The repo appears as X to me, but it is known as Y to others" is an
issue that already exists.  "git pull" records from which repository
the changes were merged but it uses the repository from the point of
the view of the user who ran "git pull", for example.  While one of
my public repositories are known as https://github.com/gitster/git",
the URL I use to push there may be "git@github.com:gitster/git.git",
so if they were recording push certificates, the latter would be the
pushee in them, but that is not a URL random people can normally use
to clone from.
