You don't need to "convert" the branches to local ones.  git-push will
accept any ref your local repo knows about when you do a push.  For
example "git push remote2 origin/branch-foo:refs/heads/branch-foo"
works just fine, even if you don't have a "local" branch called
"branch-foo", and it will push the branch-foo branch out to the
remote2 remote repository.

The tags, you'll need to convert to _actual_ tags, instead of just
branches under a tags/ namespace.  Unless you're fine with them
staying as pseudo-tags, then you can just push them out as you would
any other branch.
