 In a mapset (different than PERMANENT) I run:

 {{{
 g.rename raster=mymap,elevation
 WARNING: <elevation> already exists in mapset <PERMANENT>
 }}}
 It doesn't rename it. When I use overwrite, it works. Still it seems it's
 a bug.

 Also when I add there my current mapset, it fails, and I thought we
 decided that current mapset should be supported when specifying output map
 names.

 {{{
 g.rename raster=mymap,elevation at mycurrentmapset
 WARNING: Illegal filename <elevation at mycurrentmapset>. Character <@> not
 allowed.
 WARNING: <elevation at mycurrentmapset> is an illegal file name
 }}}
