I looked at it as a bug - other tasks that accept files
but do not accept directories as inputs to the file
attribute throw build exceptions - so this task not
doing so didn't seem consistent - also I felt it
wouldn't introduce backwards compatibility as I didn't
think anybody out there would be trying to gzip
a directory, especially when it used to record an error
previously. With all that said, I take responsibility
for not submitting the fix for the test case when I had
noticed it - I had an improved testcase in my machine,
but had forgotten to attach it to the patch :-(
