Re: filesets

Since the documentation for `vc-deduce-fileset' says

    If we're in VC-dired mode, the fileset is the list of marked files.

you could remove the word `fileset' and speak only of

    the list of marked files

and refer to such a list in an argument, as does `vc-svn-diff', as

    files 

I know that speaking of `the list of marked files' is longer than
speaking of `filesets'.  That is bad.  However, the word `list' has
specific meaning in Lisp.  It is good to express it.

Actually, the argument `files' could be `files-list' which is longer,
too, but more helpful to whichever person reads the code in fifteen
years.
