[p4] Doubt with exclusion principle...

[steve@vance.com]

The right hand side has to parallel the left hand side.  For example, it
should be

-//depot/rel1/... //sushree_ws/rel1/...

Hi All,

I have tried to explain a situation below...
  
I have a client sushree_ws
view : //depot/... sushree_ws/...
       -//depot/rel1/... //sushree_ws/...
       -//depot/main/... //sushree_ws/...

I have a branch spec rel2
view : //depot/... //depot/rel2/...
       -//depot/main/... //depot/rel2/...
       -//depot/rel1/... //depot/rel2/...

I have files at depot level.
//depot/a.c
//depot/b.c
//depot/c.c

Using the above client spec if i try and sync it says
File(s) not in client view.

Then I changed the client spec to
view : //depot/... sushree_ws/...
I got all the files from main and rel1 to the
workspace

Now if I follow a branch using the above branch spec I
get all the files from main and rel1 branched to
//depot/rel2/...

Queries:
Why is Perforce including main and rel1 evenif we have
excluded it?

How/Where the exclusion principle(- sign) works?

I could branch the files at depot level to rel2 using
the file specification but I want to know in depth
obout the use of the exclusion principle, I mean the
underlying concept...

Please share your expertise...

-Sushree.
