Comment (by needelsd):

 > aka v.edit?

 As far as I can tell the v.edit tool=catadd does not replace cats. It
 appears to append the same one or more cats designated by cats= to every
 feature selected by ids=, but without incrementing the cat value.

 Is there a way to tell v.edit to add sequential cat numbers or to replace
 an existing cat with a new one?

 But v.edit does make changes to the original file. Also, the tool=catdel
 ids=1-9999 cats=1-9999 does delete all multiple cats associated with
 individual selected vector features.
