That's true, but in some cases, the fossil ignore-glob is more useful.
Example:
*/obj/*
*.o
*.bak
Which will works for the whole repo.
I often do something like this to create or update my ignore-glob file:
fossil extra >> .fossil-settings/ignore-glob
vim .fossil-settings/ignore-glob
(cleanup the content added by "fossil extra" by replacing by the
most general glob pattern possible to get rid the extras and
keep some individual file from the list if needed, for the
exceptions)
But I agree that the per directory ignore file have it's advantage in
some situations.

Also true for the venerable CVS (.cvsignore files).
