Subject: Unable to rename map if similar exists in PERMANENT

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: grass-6.2.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_08_31

I'm unable to rename raster map if map with same name exists in other 
mapset. Any manipulations with maps should happen in local mapset IF not 
specified othervise. 

PS. It would be nice to add some hint to manual how to rename maps with 
comma in name i.e. "Lake_25,5".

Example:
GRASS 6.2.0cvs (archimed):~ > g.gisenv
GISDBASE=/home/maris/gis_dati
LOCATION_NAME=archimed
MAPSET=somijai
DEBUG=0
MONITOR=x0
GRASS_GUI=tcltk
GRASS 6.2.0cvs (archimed):~ > g.rename rast=MASKA,MASK
ERROR: <MASK> already exists in mapset <PERMANENT>
GRASS 6.2.0cvs (archimed):~ >
