Comment(by annakrat):

 Replying to [comment:1 huhabla]:
 > This is a limitation that is not easy to fix. The module t.list will
 show only those stds from mapsets you have access to. If you rename a
 mapset, the ids of the stds will still build upon the original mapset name
 and therefor this mapset will be unknown to GRASS. Hence, if you rename a
 mapset you have to access the temporal database by your tool of choice and
 modify the mapset and id columns of the stds and map tables. In worst case
 you need to modify 5 tables with SQL staments to rename the mapset.

 That's what I thought. The main problem is that it is unexpected. Perhaps
 the GUI startup dialog could find out if there is temporal database and
 warn the user before renaming the mapset (using t.connect -pg). It would
 be of course then nice if there would be some tool to automatically update
 the database.
