[p4] editing view in p4 client

Posted on behalf of forum user 'cgorac'.

I have a p4 client setup that I used for while, but now I want to exclude some
large binary files from my workspace. So I run "p4 client" and changed
settings under "View" from:
//depot/main/... //my_ws/...
to:
//depot/main/... //my_ws/...
-//depot/main/foo/... //my_ws/foo/...
where "foo" is sub-directory that contains files that I want to
exclude.

I think this is pretty much exactly the same as suggested in p4 client command
documentation; however, when I save the file in editor, it just says
"Client my_ws not changed", and when I re-run "p4 client"
again, the line that I added is not there any more.

I can change other items in the client spec, for example, I've changed
"Root" earlier, and also for example I can change some of items under
"Options", and then the changed client spec is properly
saved.  So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with changing the
view?

Thanks.
