I see that you also insist on using camelCase for config variables. I
will rephrase it.

That point in this example is a bit moot IMO - if you don't want sandbox
ref to appear in list of branches view then just delete the offending
line.

I also made a small experiment. In per-instance config I have
$feature{'extra-branch-refs'}{'default'} = ['wip'];
$feature{'extra-branch-refs'}{'override'} = 1;

In per-repository config I have:
[gitweb]
	extrabranchrefs = sandbox
	extrabranchrefs = other

List of branches view shows only branches from sandbox and other. So
clearly per-repository config overrides per-instance config.

So, should I just ignore the invalid refs or treat them as errors?
