I really like the idea of a mirror task (see RoboCopy.exe (command line tool) for an
example of excellent mirroring capabilities).
However, I'm not sure I understand what the second fileset is for. From a schema
point of view, I'd thing this would be sufficient:
<copy todir="${build.web}" mirror="true">
<fileset>
<includes name="**\*.aspx"/>
<includes name="**\*.asax"/>
<includes name="**\*.asmx"/>
<includes name="**\*.ashx"/>
<includes name="**\*.config"/>
</fileset>
</copy>

Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Mirror task?
What I want is to separate source and build output in a web project.
This is easy enough for the source files themselves, as build output from them is a
single file that I can put anywhere I want. But I also need to copy all the content
files from the source location into the build output location. Currently I do this
using a single copy task:
<copy todir="${build.web}">
<fileset>
<includes name="**\*.aspx"/>
<includes name="**\*.asax"/>
<includes name="**\*.asmx"/>
<includes name="**\*.ashx"/>
<includes name="**\*.config"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
However, if content files are deleted in the source directory, this isn't reflected in
the build output directory. I could delete all the files and copy them again, but that
would be rather more time consuming.
What I would like is something like this:
<mirror>
<from basedir="source">
<includes name="**\*.aspx"/>
<includes name="**\*.asax"/>
...
</from>
<into basedir="destination">
<includes name="**\*.aspx"/>
<includes name="**\*.asax"/>
...
</into>
</mirror>
where I could be certain that after the operation, the files matched in the two sets
would be identical.

Kræn,
I'm not quite sure what you are after here. Do you want to copy the
contents of one fileset into another ? I'm fairly sure that you can't do
that right now. Could be an idea for a new task though
