I have little opinion on this subject, however, since I mostly edit ignore files by hand, and do so very rarely. So as far as I'm concerned, we could remove this feature altogether and not lose much.

I think the issue is not such general, but a more specific one: is the
use case of ignoring patterns more important than ignoring particular
files, when we are talking about usage through VC?

That's not my reading of the SRC source, which simply does
if line.startswith("#") or not line.strip():
continue
elif line.startswith("!"):
ignorable -= set(glob.glob(line[1:].strip()))
else:
ignorable |= set(glob.glob(line.strip()))
and the Python documentation, which says:
glob.glob(pathname, *, recursive=False)
Return a possibly-empty list of path names that match pathname,
which must be a string containing a path specification. pathname
can be either absolute (like /usr/src/Python-1.5/Makefile) or
relative (like ../../Tools/*/*.gif), and can contain shell-style
wildcards. Broken symlinks are included in the results (as in
the shell). Whether or not the results are sorted depends on the
file system.
So Git-style root-directory-only .srcignore files will do for SRC.
Which doesn't surprise me at all, because SRC in general copycats
Git's behavior in many aspects.

But since CVS and SVN don't use vc-default-ignore, and SRC can do with
a single file in the root of the repository, does it really matter in
practice?
