And does the .git/logs/refs/heads/upstream-fixes still exist?

Nope.

If it does not, as last resort you'd have to git fsck --unreachable
(this gives you all things that are not reachable from any ref), filter
out only commit objects and than remember which one should have been on
that branch after reading it's log, date and changes.

Yeah, that will probably recover it.  I wound up digging the emails
out of the trash bin, and applying them again.

Ah, sorry to hear that.  Trying to rename and lost both old and
new -- that is bad.
