You keep saying they are orthogonal, but they are not. Read
remote.c::branch_get().
And try this:
[remote "origin"]
url = g...@github.com:felipec/git.git
# fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
Can you merge? No. Can you do master@{u}? No. Several other things don't work.

[remote]
pushdefault = origin
[remote "origin"]
push = refs/head/*:refs/heads/for/*
[branch "master"]
pushremote = github
push = refs/heads/new-master
[branch "next"]
pushremote = origin
push = refs/heads/new-next
% git checkout master && git push
Where should it go? github/new-master. Obviously.
% git checkout next && git push
Where should it go? origin/new-next. Obviously.
% git checkout main && git push
Where should it go? origin/for/maint. Obviously.
I don't see what the big deal is.

So? The answer is no.

The same commit 'git show @{-10000}' shows you. The fact it doesn't
resolve to a commit doesn't mean @{-100} is not the nth-hundredth
previous checkout.
