Well, you can always use hooks for that (see for example
underdocumented contrib/hooks/update-paranoid)... or you can try to
scratch that itch yourself. gitignore supports inverse (negated)
patterns (!<pattern>), so there is some code dealing with
"blacklisting". I would propose using the same '!' character, or
perhaps one of forbidden characters (see git-check-ref-format(1)),
i.e.
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = !refs/heads/html
fetch = !refs/heads/man
