Perforce views have to be 1:1 in both directions. Without the
exclusion mapping, that won't be true. (That is, the path
 //KClient/dev/tools/... will map to two locations in the
repository.)

However, we probably could use overlay (+) mappings here. That wasn't
available when we first started but I think that might work here.

They can be a little tricky if the same file appears in both locations
in the repository, but that wouldn't be the case here. Maybe its time
for me to take another crack at fixing this.
