So I want to update my remote fork with all my local branches.
Normally I'd do this:

$ git push --mirror fork
...

Something along this line in your .git/config:

        [remote "fork"]
                url = ...
                push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

and then

        $ git push --prune --follow-tags fork

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town all last week. Thanks for
your help. Does this serve as a good general default? I can't imagine
a case where I'd ever want to push something inside refs/remotes.

It may, as a good general default to something other than --mirror,
perhaps.  When I ask for mirroring the state of my repository, I'd
expect it to preserve as much state as possible, including the tips
of histories I received from elsewhere.
