First file are selected from the includes. Then this list (or set if
you prefer) is trimmed of all files that match *any* excludes. If it
picks up build.xml from within com/**, it likely means that dir="." is
not the direction that directly contains the com/ directory. The other
2 patterns are un-affected, because they start with **/
