Only if you don't specify the refspec, which is the typical way to push.
git push hg-remote hairyblocks
That would be translated to a refspec:
git push hg-remote refs/heads/hairyblocks:refs/heads/branches/hairyblocks
But if you are already specifying the refspec, nothing gets translated.

It does, but you haven't created the local branches, soyou can't do
`git push foo`, if "foo" doesn't exist.

But you are going to need to do that only once.
