Sorry for the mail-traffic. Just more info to support my claim that the
"current" description.html is sort of "empty":
# copy the ".tmp.html" over to ".html"
nik at vertical:/usr/local/src/grass6_devel$ cp
scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/v.db.reconnect.all.tmp.html
scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/description.html
# changes
nik at vertical:/usr/local/src/grass6_devel$ svn diff
scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/
Index: scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/description.html
