Comment(by mmetz):

 Replying to [ticket:2402 micha]:
 > In stable version 6.4, when working in a Long-Lat LOCATION, v.distance
 returns geodesic distance on a sphere in meters (in the cases of point to
 point, and point to line).

 > In GRASS 7.0 this feature is lost, and distances are always returned in
 the LOCATION units (i.e. degrees in a Long-Lat LOCATION). Geodesic
 distance should be the preferred behavior.

 Fixed for trunk in r61850.
