#3317: t.remove -rf does not unregister removed maps from temporal database

 Priority:  normal      |  Milestone:  7.2.1
Component:  Temporal    |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  t.remove    |        CPU:  x86-64
 Platform:  Linux       |
------------------------+-------------------------
 I used {{{t.remove -rf inputs=bla1,bla2,bla3}}} to remove all strds and
 corresponding maps from a certain mapset I use for testing. However, I
 found that even though maps and strds were indeed removed (i.e.: they no
 longer appeared after {{{t.list type=strds}}} or {{{g.list
 type=raster}}}), maps were not unregistered from the temporal database. I
 only discovered this when I used {{{t.list type=raster}}}. I had to remove
 those maps (i.e.: the corresponding entries for those maps in the temporal
 database) with G7:t.unregister.

 I understand that maps are not unregistered from the temporal database
 when one only removes the strds, but if one removes both strds and maps
 (by means of -rf flags), wouldn't it be better to also unregister those
 maps from the temporal database by default? It seems confusing to also
 have to run t.unregister after having removed strds and maps.
