If you mean by "publicly visible" branches in public repositories, I suspect not. At places like repo.or.cz, github, or installations managed by gitosis, you typically do not have direct access to $GIT_DIR/config files (they belong to site administrators) in your repositories, and that is not likely to change for security reasons.
