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.

That is a perfectly reasonable approach. It just should be called
"--glob" or something, and not "remote".  git-tag allows patterns to an
explicit "tag -l", but "-l" is already taken for git-branch.

Reminds me that I have to resurrect my patterns-with-branches series....

Please do. I think it's a much simpler and more versatile solution to
the same problem.
