------- Additional Comments From bodewig@apache.org  2002-11-08 13:58 -------
The includes attribute allows multiple patterns separated by space or comma.

<include>'s name attribute expects a single pattern.

There is nothing special for <patternset>, as every task that supports an
includes attribute also supports nested include elements and the semantics
are always the same.

There is a way to escape $ in Ant (simply double it) that works for all
attributes of all elements.

See also the <includesfile> element of <patternset> which would allow you to
put several patterns into a single file (and use if/unless attributes).

Then there are selectors in Ant 1.5 (with additional if/unless support in 1.6
that may help to address your problem.

If something is odd with this treatment, to my taste it is that includes allows
a list of files at all - but this has been the initial way to define them and
must stay that way for obvious backwards compatibility reasons.
