From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
thicket
n
  1. a dense growth of bushes [syn: brush, brushwood, coppice, copse, thicket]
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Thicket \Thick"et\, n. [AS. [thorn]iccet. See {Thick}, a.]
      A wood or a collection of trees, shrubs, etc., closely set;
      as, a ram caught in a thicket. --Gen. xxii. 13.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [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.
