At the user level, a fileset is a collection of files, ...
A user may not call `vc-svn-diff', which says `fileset FILES' in
its documention, and provide the function with a search pattern.
He or she must provide a list.
According to emacs/lisp/filesets.el
A fileset is either
a list of files,
a file pattern,
a base directory and a search pattern (for files), or
an inclusion group (i.e. a base file including other files).
but the argument called by `vc-svn-diff' in emacs/lisp/vc-svn.el is
only a list.
`dolist', which is one of the functions called by the `vc-svn-diff'
defun and to which the `fileset' argument applies, cannot handle a
search pattern or any of the other last three items. It can only take
a list in its second argument.
