[GRASS-dev] making g.remove less verbose

[Michael Barton]

Relevant to discussions about the r.mask script. Is what Jachym is doing a
way to provide a user checkbox in the GUI for overwriting the earlier map
but not give confusion with the global --o overwrite flag?

That is, use -f for "force replacement of old mask with new"

??
