Oh you can easily tell which hash they're from -- just check the lengths. What you can't tell (without rehashing) is that specific parent and child blobs denote the same object. (However, as noted elsethread, this is not a problem: the deltifier will spot them anyway, and squash them away to next-to-nothing.)
