//depot/main/.. //client/... //depot/branch/branch1/... //client/...

Would Perforce get confused as to which file is the client

workspace?

Not really. The second line would just supersede the first line. That is, everything under //client/... would map to //depot/branch/branch1/...

I found that those sort of work on our server (2003.2 - yes, time to upgrade) but only from depot to client. Operations that started with a client path got confused and timed out. (You could see this in P4Win if you selected local view.)

Might have been able to fix it with + mappings, but decided to fix the view instead to remove overlapping wild carded paths. (Non-wild-carded paths resolved OK, I think.) -Wm
