This isn't right. You are assuming that a remote called "foo" will have
all of its branches in refs/remotes/foo. That's true under the default
configuration, but technically speaking, the remote tracking branches of
"foo" are defined by the right-hand side of foo's fetch refspecs.

You are 100% right here, but...

So I think you want something more like this:

...the op still might want to filter simply by the remote name.

There's an interesting discussion related to the subject:
