This is technically impossible. A clone relationship is semantically similar to a hard link. The basic fileset concept precludes hard links between filesets. A fileset is by definition a self-contained subtree in the namespace.

Could somebody explain whether this could be permitted in the future, or if it's technically impossible? Thanks, Luke.
