[p4] Client map too twisted for directory list

[Shawn Hladky]

I think all the exclusionary mappings in this view are unnecessary.  For
example, the following 3 lines all relate to one another:

1       //dev/projA/main/...         //KClient/dev/...
2      -//dev/projA/main/tools/...   //KClient/dev/tools/...
3       //tools/projA/main/tools/... //KClient/dev/tools/...

Line 3 and line 1 are in conflict, and Perforce will always use the latter
line to resolve the conflict.  The exlusionary mapping in line 2 is
redundant.
