[p4] How to protect new branch?

[Robert Cowham]

Don't forget that an exclude line removes all access to the files, doesn't
matter what protect level you give it.

72 

Thus exclude for write and exclude for list give same result - no access.

You could then add a second line to give back particular permissions.
