I like that one -- indeed, I think the simple term "files" is much more
clear than "fileset".
[An english speaker can kind of guess what the term "fileset" must mean,
but it still has a very peculiar feel about it, like it's implying some
extra restrictions over and above a simple list of files. Maybe there
_are_ such extra restrictions, but it's not obvious from what I've seen
of the code...]
