you can add it one line at a time with "r.support history=".
Officially you are limited to 50 lines 80chars long, but maybe you
could push that? You can then view it with r.info.
this is stored in the $MAPSET/hist/$MAPNAME text file.


It is planned that the raster meta-data support will be significantly
upgraded when we cleanup the raster format for grass 7.
