Please, don't do regex when talking about paths.  Uniformly
using fnmatch/glob is less confusing.  I do not see anything
wrong with Andy's refspec glob we already have.  Although I
agree that the second asterisk in "src/*:dst/*" has a certain
"Huh?" factor to UNIX-trained eyes, I think it is quite obvious
even to new people what it does.

Also, while I agree that (2) is logical and less typing, I would
avoid cases where foo and foo/ behave differently when "foo"
itself is a directory/tree like thing.  Doing otherwise easily
invites mistakes.
