Will be fetched after multiple iterations. We could even introduce some 'fsck --autorepair' mode, which triggers it to fetch any missing object from its remotes.

Maybe even introduce a concept of peer object stores, which (a bit like alternates) are asked for objects that arent locally availabe - that could be even a plain venti store.
