#3425: regression in v.in.ogr -f 7.3 7 Oct (possibly earlier)
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  rsbivand     |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major        |  Milestone:
Component:  Vector       |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified  |
-------------------------+-------------------------
 In 7.2.2, there was no check for GDAL version in v.in.ogr -f. Now for
 v.in.ogr -f in 7.3 and GDAL >= 2.0, long format names are returned.

 Choice of best drivers in R rgrass7::readVECT() depends on predictable
 text output from v.in.ogr -f.

 Please add a new flag to preserve backward compatibility, so that the test
 at vector/v.in.ogr/main.c line 387 can use the older branch even if GDAL
 >= 2.0. This is a serious regression for users of rgrass7. If the flag is
 added, readVECT will again use SQLite, not ESRI_Shapefile, to which it has
 fallen back.
