If <move> supported <dirset> as a nested element, you could easily do what you intend
to by using
<move todir="${base.dir}/B" >
<dirset dir="${base.dir}/A" defaultexcludes="no" excludes="dir3" />
</move>
But that doesn't work! Maybe opportunity for a new patch here.
Seems like Move is good for moving files only at the moment.
