[GRASS-dev] r44766: v.what: cosmetics in output (empty lines)

[Hamish]

Hi,

sorry but r44766: "v.what: cosmetics in output (empty lines)"
will have to be reverted.

anything written to stdout is fair game for people to parse with
scripts, and rightly or wrongly people will be parsing using
the default output instead of -g, and using brittle ways like
`head` and `tail` instead of grep, and these cosmetic changes
will definitely will break their personal scripts.

the same goes for r.info, v.info form output, etc.
 (in GRASS 6.x only of course).


thanks,
Hamish


ps- fair warning that after 6.4.1 I'm going to be even more stubborn about 6.4.x being for bug fixes only..
