I think what you are looking for is

    return any(r.match(branch) for r in branches)

This also has the advantage of stopping processing as soon as it finds a
match.

I was also wondering why you decided to support comma-separated lists of
regexps *and* multivalued config settings. It seems that supporting only
multivalued settings would suffice.

Maybe you are following the precedent of our email configuration
settings, which support comma-separated lists of email addresses? If so,
I don't think that is necessary. The email support is there for
backwards compatibility and because comma-separated email addresses are
a thing in RFC 2822. Neither of these arguments apply to branch regexps.
