[p4] Client map too twisted for directory list

[Robert Cowham]

That error message is a sort of "right of passage" and shows you are pushing
the envelope.

Basic recommendations: KISS!

If your client specs are all long and complicated it is *usually* a sign
that your repository is badly structured.

As ever, though, the devil is in the details...

Oliver Wendell Holmes: "I wouldn't give a fig for the simplicity on this
side of complexity; I would give my right arm for the simplicity on the far
side of complexity"
