Well, you can always use hooks for that (see for example
underdocumented contrib/hooks/update-paranoid)... or you can try to
scratch that itch yourself.  gitignore supports inverse (negated)
patterns (!<pattern>), so there is some code dealing with
"blacklisting".  I would propose using the same '!' character, or
perhaps one of forbidden characters (see git-check-ref-format(1)),
i.e.

 [remote "origin"]
 	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
 	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        fetch = !refs/heads/html
        fetch = !refs/heads/man
