That's my point: fossil has to completely ignore one set and only deal with
the other set in certain cases. In order to that, it has to be able to
differentiate between the two sets of files. It can't do that if they're
all in the ignore-glob (which has very specific semantics which users rely
upon).

In any case, Richard indicated that it "shouldn't be too hard to implement"
using existing functionality. i can't personally commit to implementing it
in the near future, but it's something i'd like to see at least
experimentally implemented. In hindsight, i can't believe this feature
suggestion has never come up before :/.
