Ooo. But I think that's the other way around. It was prepared for that
purpose but people never followed through. Check the archive around
commit 3894439 (Teach "git remote" a mirror mode, 2007-09-02).

Eh, in that sense, "git remote" itself is useless, isn't it? I have to
say that this particular point of your argument does not give us any new
or interesting insight to work from.
As I already said, I think "push to backup" option would be useful. It
just cannot take over --mirror option, which means something different.
