A mirrored push is basically:
- push all refs, i.e., a "+refs/*:refs/*" refspec
- enable --prune, to delete any branches that don't exist on the local
side
But you can do those two things separately if you like. So your options
are either:
1. Drop the pruning (in which case deleted branches from the sync may
accumulate, but depending on the patterns that may or may not be a
problem).
2. Use two different namespaces for the synced branches and the
private ones (e.g., refs/mirror/* in addition to your branches in
refs/heads/*). The obvious downside is that anybody cloning your
downstream mirror doesn't pick up refs/mirror unless they configure
that refspec explicitly.
