My 0.02 PLN:
1. I don't think merging can be done in a generic way (neither on xml level
nor at the object level)
2. I cannot think of a reason to merge: <arg> <credential> <proxy>
<xsltparameter> and similar objects and I suggest we focused on filesets
only.
3. Maybe we should start by implementing it the simple way: Make "includes"
and "excludes" support filesets (both referenced and nested):
<fileset basedir="dir.a">
<includes file="aaa.txt" />
<includes fileset="r1" />
<includes>
<fileset basedir="dir.b">
<includes file="bbb.txt" />
</fileset>
</includes>
<excludes fileset="r2" />
<excludes>
<fileset basedir="dir.c">
<includes file="ccc.txt" />
</fileset>
<includes fileset="r3" />
</excludes>
</fileset>
4. This approach has the nice property of being side-effect-free - it can be
used in all places where a <fileset> is expected. I'm not sure how would
<fileset ... redefinemode="Append"> behave in this case.
5. Let's keep it simple and I hope that the idea I've presented for nested
<fileset>s is simple enough.
