Hi, Michai,
It is documented, but not somewhere where the average user will find it:

In brief: it's a subset of Unix shell globbing rules, but not including
{a,b,c} globs.
Fossil doesn't generally know about/do anything special for directories.
e.g. it cannot version control a directory, only files. Thus many commands
do not operate at the directory level (as you've already noticed). AFAIK,
there are no wildcards which restrict behaviour to a specific subdir, and
i'm not certain if the following (or something similar) would work for the
ignore-glob:
temp/*
