[p4] Client map too twisted for directory list

[Russell C. Jackson]

What it means is that they have an overlay mapping in their client, or 
have remapped something in a way that Perforce cannot display. It isn't 
a bad thing, just a message telling you the mapping cannot be displayed 
in the GUI.

Thanks,
Rusty
