Traditionally configuration variable names are spelled camelCase without
dashes. You probably would want to be consistent.
Also "refs" and any pathname-like things are traditionally matched using
globs and not regexes. It is Ok to deviate if you have a strong reason to
(and I suspect it would make it easier to write "exclude" patterns like
the above example to allow a regex here), but that needs to be prominently
documented (e.g. "Unlike any other ref-matching configuration variable,
this alone uses regex, not glob") to avoid end user confusion.
