As I said - hi level question and, otherwise, everything works
fine.
Am I missing something fundamental?

OTOH, if you want to check that *every* ref in your repository is the
same as the ref of the same name in the remote repository, you've got
to find a command that will list all the refs in the remote
repositories and their values, and then compare those values with the
local values.
Basically, that's what
git remote -v show remote
does: it reaches for the server behind remote asks it for the
refs/heads/* it has, compares them to the local heads, including their
tracking state, and outputs the results in a human-readable form.
