[GRASS-user] Copy raster from xy location to latlong

[Patton, Eric]

>I have imported a remote sensing product from an HDF file into an XY

As long as the two coordinate systems are the same, I don't think there's any
danger in using tar:

$ cd $GISDBASE/$MAPSET
$ tar cjvf rastername.tar */rastername
$cd $NEW_GISDBASE/$MAPSET
$ tar xjvf rastername.tar
