When using the {word,[...]} style of configuration for tags and branches,
it appears the intent is to only match whole path parts, since the words
in the {} pattern are meta-character quoted.
When the pattern word appears in the beginning or middle of the url,
it's matched completely, since the left side, pattern, and (non-empty)
right side are joined together with path separators.
However, when the pattern word appears at the end of the URL, the
right side is an empty pattern, and the resulting regex matches
more than just the specified pattern.
For example, if you specify something along the lines of
branches = branches/project/{release_1,release_2}
and your repository also contains "branches/project/release_1_2", you
will also get the release_1_2 branch. By restricting the match regex
with anchors, this is avoided.

For very large projects it is useful to be able to clone a subset of the
upstream SVN repo's branches. Allow for this by letting the left-side of
the branches and tags glob specs contain a brace-delineated comma-separated
list of names. e.g.:
branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/branches/*
