To me this all sounds like fossil enforcing project-specific policy, which
is something it most certainly should not be doing.

Case in point:

[odroid@host:~/fossil/cwal/s2]$ ls -d *
1    mod_porex.c      s2_protos.o
1.b    mod_porex.o      s2sh
1.csv    mod_porex.s2      s2sh.history
1.e    mod_porex.so      s2sh.s2
<huge snip>
mod_popen.o    s2_pf.c      Z.s2
mod_popen.s2    s2_pf.o
mod_popen.so    s2_protos.c

[odroid@host:~/fossil/cwal/s2]$ ls -1 | wc -l
166

[odroid@host:~/fossil/cwal/s2]$ ls -1 *.c *.h Makefile *.sh *.?pp | wc -l
46

roughly 1/4th of those files are in source control, and it would absolutely
kill me for fossil to say, "hey, buddy, you've got 120 files I don't know
about! Do something about that before continuing!" To which my response
would most certainly be a chain of expletives. Maintaining an ever-growing
ignore-glob for an arbitrary number of globs, just to enforce a policy
invoked in _someone else's project_ would be a highly unattractive option.
