If you look at it this way, then the current branches implemenation is
not appropriate.  It finds all the branches at a location.  You're
looking at all the branches in a repository, but it's quite possible
that some of the branches at the location are standalone branches that
do not use that repository.  You can even nest repositories

If you mirror, do you really want to mirror only the branches that use
that repository?  Or do you want to mirror all the branches at that
location?

I do think there's a need to find all the branches that use a
repository, but I think it's only needed for low-level
repository-management commands, e.g. "garbage-collect".
