In-Reply-To: <E1Ijt8r-0008Ou-WF@fencepost.gnu.org> (message from Richard Stallman on Mon, 22 Oct 2007 05:00:10 -0400)

    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.
