@Barry: True, but it's clumsy, since you have to specify every path, in full, in the global ignore-glob file. If you move a subproject to a different location in the directory tree, you have to remember to update the ignore-glob file.
This is something I miss from Subversion (and Git, too, apparently) - the ability to set an ignore list for *just this directory*, and have that ignore list move around with the directory automatically. +1 for David's idea.
