[GRASS-user] overlapping areas seem valid to v.build: why?

[Roger André]

By the way, it seems that the official stance is that it is preferred to
allow the automatic cleaning of non-topological data sets when they are
imported.  However, I do want to point out that I have seen many, many
instances where this auto-cleaning actually causes problems, rather than
fixes them.  As a result, I explicitly exclude cleaning on every import I
do.  If cleaning is required, I manually clean the data with v.clean.  In
many cases only a subset of the full set of cleaning operations performed
automatically by v.in.ogr are needed to fix the data.  Personally, I do not
think this "auto cleaning" should ever have been made the default operation
of the import tool.
