Comment (by hamish):

 Thanks for preparing this, it was a bit of an unknown how the two branches
 had diverged.

 I am very much against bulk backports. It destroys any hope of
 stabilizing the codebase. Lets do backports bug by bug please,
 dictated by need and with justification.

 especially from 6.5 guis, which are full of new experimental
 features which do not belong in the stable branch.

 rather, I would like us to use this patch as a menu of what
 things could be backported and pick out the important bugfixes.


 Backport selected great features to 6.4.1 if you like, but
 please please please bug-fixes-only for the 6.4.0 branch.
 I am getting very frustrated that we are never going to
 release this thing, and every time we add a new feature we
 reset the stability clock.



 gmmenu.tcl:
    v.in.lines

 -> new module not in 6.4 AFAIK


   {[G_msg "Exit &GRASS"]}
   {command {[G_msg "&Quit GIS Ma
   ...
   # Provides remote exit call.

 -> I wouldn't mind backporting ctrl-q to exit the wxgui, but am
 against the full Quit all the grass terminal from the gui menu going in to
 6.4.0. it is too raw. actually IMHO I wonder if it should be removed from
 both wxGUI in trunk, and 6.5 in tcl+wx as a mis-feature, but I'm happy for
 it to stay for testing in the dev branches. The wx one in grass7 fails
 badly for me and leaves the shell in a broken state fwiw, and in 6.5 it
 doesn't work at all.


   other new modules
 -> some are there, but check all actually present in 6.4


 ...

   set m [GSelect paint/labels title [G_msg "Label file"]]
 -> ISTR this one was a bug with a report ?




 thanks,
 Hamish
