To be precise, it would match non-numbered backups of non-numbered
backups of non-numbered backups, and non-numbered backups of numbered
backups: the current pattern requires either a single ~, or two tildes
with at least one other character between them.
To fix this would require specifying that an internal tilde is
preceded and followed by at least one character from the rest of the
character class [-[:alnum:]:#@^._] (or, if you just want to cope with
git notation, then preceded by one such character, and followed by a
digit), i.e. something like
\\(?:~\\|\\.~[-[:alnum:]:#@^._]+\\([-[:alnum:]:#@^._~]*[-[:alnum:]:#@^._]+\\)?~\\)
