[Gdal-dev] GetProjectionRef() returns an empty string.

[Gillian Walter]

Hi,

If an image is geocoded with ground control points rather than an affine 
transform (geotransform), you use GetGCPProjection() rather than 
GetProjectionRef() to get the projection string.  The ottawa patch 
probably uses gcps.
