Comment (by mmetz):

 Replying to [ticket:2239 sbl]:
 > Converting areas from vector to raster (v.to.rast) with the -d flag
 (dense lines) results in an empty raster map.

 Converting areas and densifying lines is mutually exclusive. Line
 densification is now (trunk r67918) disabled if areas are converted.

 >
 > This is probably/likely because boundaries are not lines in a topolgical
 sense.

 You can now convert boundaries with

 {{{
 v.to.rast type=boundary layer=-1 use=val
 }}}

 >
 > In any case, it would be helpful to catch this behavior at least using a
 warning/error message and by adding information to the manual.

 Done in trunk r67918.
