[GRASS-user] result from g.copy when layer exists

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am a bit irritated,  ut maybe I don't dee the reasoning behind this:'

,----
| RASS 7.0.svn (grass):~ > g.copy rast=MASK,tmp
| WARNING: <tmp> already exists
| [Raster MASK present]
| GRASS 7.0.svn (grass):~ > 
`----

If the layer already exists, shouldn't the command give actually an
error and not only a warning?

A warning implies for me that the command worked, but maybe something
unexpected could have happened (or happened) - but this one clearly did
not work, as the layer has not been copied?

Cheers,

Rainer
