use v.proj, r.proj top move maps between different locations.
use g.copy to copy among the same location but different mapsets,
probably with @othermapset for the source map name's mapset. see also the g.mapsets module (with an "s")


a location will have a specific projection setting, see 
'g.proj -p'. If you know they are the same you can symlink the
mapset from one location into another at your own risk.



yes, the wiki fills the gap between man pages and textbooks
quite well.
