From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  thicket
       
           Multiple {files} output from some operation.
       
          The term has been heard in use at {Microsoft} to describe the
          set of {files} output when {Microsoft Word} does "Save As a
          {Web} Page" or "Save as {HTML}".  The process can result in a
          main {XML} or {HTML} {file}, a {graphic} {file} for each
          {image} in the original, a {CSS} {file}, etc.
       
          This can be an issue as {XML} can be used as the default
          format in {Office 2000}, and {document management systems}
          can't yet cope with the relationship between the {files} in a
          thicket when checking in and out.
