[p4] Client map too twisted for directory list

[Stephen Vance]

Wow! It's difficult to even artificially create a client mapping like 
that! I'd love to see it.

My advice is generally to put all of your complexity in your branch 
mappings so that your client mappings can be simple and you only expose 
the complexity to the smaller population of branch creators.

When you need to do complex things in either, though, I frequently use 
exclusionary (minus) mappings. It's required to have well-formed 
one-to-one mappings in the presence of mapping directories within other 
mappings and path and file name re-writing.
