Hi (Matt ;-), the design decision to not return directories in FileSet affects the tasks that want to read files and directories.
If I code a generic task that just uses iterator, I'll never see directories from FileSet (or any of FileSet's subclasses), instead I have to check whether I'm dealing with a fileset subclass. Even worse, there is no way to get the included directories of <union> <fileset dir="A"/> <fileset dir="B"/> </union> What shall we do? Return files and directories and let the user explicitly use a <type> selector would be my preference.
