Not too much. Example:

GRASS 6.0.cvs - spearfish57 >

Or if too much long an idea

G6cvs-spearfish57 >

It's important to see what is the location in Grass 6.

in daily work it's very useful because with Grass 6 is more easy to 
work with 2, 3 or more locations together and the shell has always 
the same name: this was not a problem in Grass 5.x with 1 location 
any time.
