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.
