Yes. done in r68658, it now looks like this:

...
Welcome to GRASS GIS 7.3.svn
GRASS GIS homepage:                      http://grass.osgeo.org
This version running through:            Bash Shell (/bin/bash)
Help is available with the command:      g.manual -i
See the licence terms with:              g.version -c
See citation options with:               g.version -x
Start the GUI with:                      g.gui wxpython
When ready to quit enter:                exit

GRASS 7.3.svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ >

I have also homogenised the flag style

g.version
...
Flags:
  -c   Print also the copyright message
  -x   Print also the citation options         <<--- new
  -b   Print also the build information
...

Mess - the CITATION file which is read by g.version would need to be parsed
for that.
Some regex/string magic would do that but I am not able to implement string
replacement stuff.
Anyone?

Best,
