Problem with includes/excludes patterns

Hi,

>From the docs I figured that for the following directory structure:

foo/
  Entry1
  bar/
    Entry2

this task:

<jar jarfile="error.jar" basedir="foo" excludes="*"/>

should include 'bar/Entry2' in error.jar, but it doesn't. It does in version
1.1, but not anymore in 1.2 or 1.3. Is this a bug or a documentation flaw?
I've put a complete example at http://marcel.schutte.com/antbug.zip

And it does again in 1.4beta 8-)

It's a bug that has been introduced with some performance enhancements
in Ant 1.2 and hasn't been detected until very recently - obviously
people don't use patterns to exclude a directory non-recursively that
often 8-).
