g.mapset  (not ending with a "s")

An advantage of this module is that it is softer than the g.gisenv solution,
e.g. it calls $GISBASE/etc/clean_temp as it leaves the old mapset.



Description:
 Change current mapset

Keywords:
 general

Usage:
 g.mapset [-c] mapset=string [location=string] [gisdbase=string]
   [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:
  -c   Create mapset if it doesn't exist
 --v   Verbose module output
 --q   Quiet module output

Parameters:
    mapset   New MAPSET name
  location   New LOCATION name (not location path)
  gisdbase   New GISDBASE (full path to the directory where the new location is)
