[GRASS-user] Copying from a mapset in another data directory

[Jonathan Greenberg]

Excellent -- symlinking is working properly -- now on to my next
question -- is there a way to do some level of "batch" g.copy using a
wildcard, e.g.:

g.copy rast=ned_ca_masked_epsg3310_*@comet

Or do I have to specific each raster individually, along with its
target file name?
