'excludes' attribute of war task fails to exclude files included by a nested fileset.

           Summary: 'excludes' attribute of war task fails to exclude files
                    included by a nested fileset.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: aalbert.torsius@dcstrans.nl


The following buildscript should exclude all files called '.nbattrs' (netBeans 
attributes, pesky little things), but doesn't.

<target name="war" depends="build" description="Build WAR file.">
	<war destfile="dist/my.war" excludes=".nbattrs"
		webxml="metadata/web.xml" manifest="metadata/manifest.mf">
		<webinf dir="metadata">
			<exclude name="web.xml"/>
			<exclude name="manifest.mf"/>
		</webinf>
		<webinf dir="taglibrary"/>
		<classes dir="build"/>
		<classes dir="src/java" includes="*.properties"/>
		<lib dir="lib"/>
		<fileset dir="src/jsp"/>
	</war>

	<echo message="WAR file built."/>
	<echo message="======"/>
</target>

What follows is the verbose output for this target:

war:

     [echo] ======

...as you can see, a .nbattrs is added, most likely the one selected by the 
nested fileset. This was actually run with build 1.6alpha_2003-7-24, so I guess 
it's a bug for all builds.

I tried variations of the pattern, like **/.nbattrs or **/*.nbattrs, but the 
only thing that keeps it from being added, is adding excludes=".nbattrs" to the 
nested fileset.

I think this is not the way the war task is supposed to behave, but maybe this 
is just what nested filesets do, period - I will test to provide more data.
