Stating what you do not like about something is a good first
step to improve that something.  It should not be too hard to
extend the parser to grok:

	repo-config --get branchdata.description '\(.*\) for netdev$'

and when the value_regex has a capture return what matches
instead of the entire value.  I think that would do what you
want.
