[GRASS-dev] Some minor TGIS issues in GRASS 7.1

This is intentional.

t.remove without "-rf" will only remove the space time dataset from
the temporal database. Maps that have been registered in the STDS will
remain in the temporal database, since they may be registered in other
STDS as well.

"t.remove inputs=A,B" will remove STDS A and B but do not remove the
associated maps from the temporal database.

But "t.remove -rf inputs=A,B" will remove STDS and all associated maps
from the temporal and spatial database.

If you call t.unregister and you specify a space time dataset as
input, then the specified maps will be unregistered only from the
specified space time dataset. The reason for this is that the maps may
be registered in other STDS and should stay there. To unregister maps
from the temporal database and all associated STDS call t.unregister
without the input parameter:

"t.unregister input=A maps=a1,a2,a3" will unregister maps a1,a2 and a3
from STDS A.

"t.unregister maps=a1,a2,a3" will remove maps a1, a2 and a3 from the
temporal database.

See above. :)


Best regards
