This version is Helped-by (maybe), but not (yet!) Reviewed-by.

Perhaps it would better read as

    This feature can be configured on per-repository basis after setting
    $feature{'extra-branch-refs'}{'override'} to true, via repository's
    `gitweb.extraBranchRefs` ...

I think this part should be better left for a separate patch. There is
important difference between single-valued and multi-valued configuration
variable: with single-valued later occurrences override earlier ones,
which includes settings in more specific config file (e.g. per-repository)
overriding setting in more general one (e.g. per-user or system-wide).

With multi-valued we won't be able to override earlier / more generic
settings... well, unless we add support for no-value, or empty-value
as clearer, i.e.

  [gitweb]
           extrabranchrefs = sandbox
           extrabranchrefs
 # or    extrabranchrefs =
           extrabranchrefs = wip other

resulting in ('wip', 'other').

Hmmm... 'snapshot' feature ignores invalid values, but in this case
formerly valid compression schemes might get invalid via tightening
%known_snapshot_formats, and we don't want existing config getting
suddenly invalid.

Nice!
