 Priority:  normal                   |  Milestone:  7.0.1
Component:  Docs                     |    Version:  7.0.0
 Keywords:  r.watershed, basin, doc  |        CPU:  All

-------------------------------------+-------------------------
 In the current online r.watershed module's help documentation, there is a
 conflicting statement to the output generated for the basin parameter.

 [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass71/manuals/r.watershed.html]

 In the text it says, "0 values indicate that the cell is not part of a
 complete watershed basin in the current geographic region."

 If I run r.watershed on the Elevation sample data and set the threshold to
 10000, the output basin will have areas on the edges that do not generate
 a basin. The values of these areas are null instead of 0 like the
 documentation makes it sounds like it should get. It makes sense for the
 values to be null instead of 0 so the documentation needs to be updated.
