DENIED by fallthru

i have this problem :

I am using :

running gitolite3 v3.6.6-6-g7c8f0ab on git 1.8.3.1

edited the gitolite.conf :

repo tester
   RW+           =  user1
   RW+  sandbox/ =  user2

According to my understanding :

In practic, i created from user1 the branch sandbox, added some data, pushed and tracked it on remote, on user2 i checkedout the branch sandbox, pulled the data, edited some file and when i tried to push the modified file: 

remote: FATAL: W refs/heads/sandbox tester testgit DENIED by fallthru
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/sandbox

Eventually i had to "- master = user2" and give right to user2 to RW+ over all repo after to obtain the right to pull/push/delete only on branch sandbox(aswell on any other branches...) in gitolite.conf.

My question is why isn`t it working out of the box with the "sandbox/" branch limiter?

The refex field is "a regex that matches a ref".

I don't think sandbox/ would match a branch.
sandbox would.
Or sandbox$ to restrict to the exact name 'sandbox'.
