'fatal: Invalid refspec' error when using glob refspecs

[ngroman]

I work in a repo with hundreds of very active contributors and thousands of branches. In order to speed up fetches, I have my .git/config only fetch master branches and those that match start with my username

.git/config:

...
[remote "origin"]
        url = git@github.com:XXX/XXX.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
        fetch = +refs/heads/nroman-*:refs/remotes/origin/nroman-*
...

Running the command GitHub: View (master) errors out with error: fatal: Invalid refspec '+refs/heads/nroman-*:refs/remotes/origin/nroman-*'

plugin version 1.2.2

Your issue make me realize that I needed to check the .git/config, in my case that file got a fetch with bad refs

It should be
+refs/remotes//git@github.com:/.git

My bad refs was
+refs/heads/git@github.com:/.git:refs/remotes//git@github.com:/.git
