Probably I'm mangling the ant usage of "Filesets". These would be relative
filesets instead of absolute filesets.
If I have directories containing files
A
B
C
D
E
I can selectively compare only A, C, and D, excluding B and E.
I can't do that with directories alone.
The functionality I thought I needed should be there, even if it's
convoluted to set it up :)
Mind you, I haven't actually tested it like that since I realized I needed
to check my entire baseline directory right as I finished writing it :)
