Summary: <exclude> and <include> don't seem to be documented
Product: Ant
Version: 1.6.2
Platform: Sun
URL: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: douglas.kramer@sun.com

I cannot find documentation for <exclude> and <include> other than examples.
It came as a surprise to me that their name attribute cannot accept directories.
Dominique Devienne says:
<exclude name="BACKUP" /> means exclude any file (not directory)
matching this pattern. Ant works on files, not directories. Directories
are often recreated as needed, as in the case of <copy>. --DD
I thought that statement would exclude the BACKUP directory and all
files below it.
Please document something like:
Attribute Description
---------- -----------------------------------
name Specifies the filenames to exclude.
Does not accept directory names.
To exclude a directory, exclude its
contents.
Plus give an example where you show how to exclude a
directory, such as:
<fileset dir="${WORKDIR}">
<include name="**/*" />
<exclude name="BACKUP/**" />
</fileset>
Includes all files below ${WORKDIR} except those in the BACKUP directory.
