Ahh.

I was not taking the above use case into account when I wrote
that regexp, because I do not think we ever supported (nor were
planning to ever support) names with dot at the third level.

The second level ("wireless-2.6") is designed to be more lenient
to accept wider "user level names" for branches, remotes, etc.,
but the third level is for variable names the programs use, and
it is not the question of likely/unlikely, but more about how we
(as the git system builders, not the end users) want to name our
variables.  So I do not think it is not such a big deal if we do
not support "url.push" variable.

Actually I did mean to write "*?"; wasn't it how minimal match
is written?
