Description

Dolt system tables typically ignore remote refs, and this is problematic when attempting to implement some basic functionality that is aware of remotes.
For example, the [`dolt_branches` table](https://docs.dolthub.com/sql-reference/version-control/dolt-system-tables#dolt_branches) does not indicate that a particular branch is tracking a remote branch. This information is currently only available in the `repo_state.json` repo file.
Similarly, the [`dolt_commits` table](https://docs.dolthub.com/sql-reference/version-control/dolt-system-tables#dolt_commits) only deals with local commits, and it is currently not possible to get a list of remote commits.
