[p4] Client map too twisted for directory list

[Jeff A. Bowles]

Beg pardon, but doesn't the line reading:
	//docs/projA/5.1/... //KClient/docs51/...	(third from end)
sort of override everything in the previous five lines?

Also, I'm not sure that the exclusionary lines (e.g., lines 3 and 4)
buy you anything. They're overridden later, anyhow.
