Abuse is exactly the word. The reason it is an abuse is exactly why you said "... but to fix it you'd have to actualyl walk the parent list yourself, rather than letting get_revision do it all for you." Which relates to the fact that object.c layer is not designed to be used multiple times...

Maybe we want to make object.c layer reusable first?
