title: Can you map a file or directory multiple times in perforce?
body: <p>I would like to know if I can map a file or directory to multiple local copies with perforce.</p>
  
  <p>I know that the P4V does allow me to do that but I encountered very weird behavior from the client and I suspect that this doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I do not plan to modify any these files, I need this in order to recreate the same directory structure needed to build my own source tree (I do not want to create a huge branch if I know that I have to modify only few files and also I do not want to create additional workspaces because switching from them takes too much time).</p>
