It's the standard practice: using the prefix, so it's "ignores 
pertaining to the project-fallback project backend".

Fallback from what? From the VC backend. The fallback backend is used 
when the VC backend is not (there is no recognized VC repository).

I don't know if it's better. What does "directory" mean? Every backend, 
every project has directories.

As mentioned previously, the other option I had considered was 'novc'. 
Then the variable would be called project-novc-ignores.

This is not a done deal, just what seems the most optimal to me at the 
moment. But opinions welcome.
