When reporting broken links between commits/trees/blobs, it would be
quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is
supposed to be reachable.

With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly
that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable.

Thanks, as always, for a set of extra sharp eyes. Will be fixed in the
next iteration.
