Hmm.  Makes sense, I guess.  Users need to remember this.
I'm testing with FreeBSD's src repo, which has 3700+ refs.

Yes!

Well...

---> refs/heads/local
     refs/remotes/origin/HEAD -> refs/remotes/origin/main
     refs/remotes/origin/main
     refs/remotes/origin/stable/12
     refs/heads/stable/13
     refs/remotes/origin/stable/13

     ...

But that reflects the commit/rebase history, so it's fine.

That works.
Backup refs are now also displayed in the log view, which you didn't
mention, but which I noticed from reading the diff.
