The "git push" command allows you to push into an empty or even
unrelated destination, but I do think there no wrapper that
creates remotes/ file.  BTW, calling that "origin" is probably
confusing.  In the scenario you outlined, your local side is the
source and the remote is the sink.

FYI, here is what I have in my remotes/ko file to interact with
my kernel.org repository (the one that is mirrored out to the
public machines):

        URL: zzz.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/
        Push: master
        Push: +pu
        Push: maint
        Pull: master:refs/tags/ko-master
        Pull: +pu:refs/tags/ko-pu
        Pull: maint:refs/tags/ko-maint

and with this, I first run

	$ git fetch ko
	$ git show-branch master ko-master

to make sure I am not rewinding what I have already pushed out
by mistake, and then

	$ git push ko
        $ git push --tags ko ;# if I added a new tag
