Shouldn't. The prior five lines refer to two other depots, not
//docs, and go to different subdirectories on the client machine.
(We have multiple depots with parallel project paths.)

They disable the default mapping from the workspace to the //dev
depot and replace it with mappings to the //tools depot. If you
don't do that, the mappings aren't seen as 1:1 in both directions
and Perforce gets confused. This by itself isn't the problem -
several of us have mappings like that.
