Re: [nant-dev] FileSetCollection and the copy task questions

[Martin A. <mar...@go...>]

Hmm. Good point. Merging two filesets into third one...

In fact I'd added also this (but don't think it will be needed. Maybe it
will be!):

 <copy todir="\foo\one">
    <fileset>
       <includeFileset refid="common.files" />
       <includeFileset refid="less.common.files" />
     </fileset>
  </copy>

or simmilar (and same result in this case):

 <copy todir="\foo\two">
    <fileset refid="common.files" redefmode="append">
       <includeFileset refid="other.common.files" />
    </fileset>
  </copy>

What do you think? And others? I'm still not sure how about xml merge of
such filesets
