Hi all,

I'm not really sure what the task is going to be used for, that's
probably my biggest problem with it.  Why do we need it?

The problem Bug 32631 talks about could better be solved by tasks that
perform set operations.  Right now our best file collection is path
and it would be rather easy to have

<intersect targetid="new-path">
  <path refid="path1"/>
  <path refid="path2"/>
</intersect>

as a task that creates a new path based on the intersection of two
others.  Set unions are already possible for <path>.  Set minus should
be as easy to implement as intersections.

Writing the same things for filesets would be possible as well, but
we'd sooner or later run into duplications.  Maybe we really need to
finally tackle a generic file collection approach that unifies
fileset, path and filelist (possibly path is that already?) and have
tasks that work on those collections.
