currently the default behavior of g.list is to display all the files present in all mapsets (which corresponds to g.list mapset=*), without indicating where they are.
I would very much prefer g.list mapset=. as a default behavior, ignoring what there is in other mapsets.
If this is really not possible, at least specifying the mapset where the maps are, if different from the current.

For me the current default behaviour, i.e. showing maps of all mapsets in the current search path is much more useful.

Perhaps:
g.list vect
vect1
vect2
PERMANENT
vect3
or:
g.list vect
vect1
vect2
PERMANENT/vect3
What do you think?
Have you seen the '-m' flag ?
And otherwise, the '-p' flag gives you pretty printed output by mapset.
I guess we could discuss whether '-p' should be the default...

Yes indeed it is the 'default behavior' what I'm referring to
I must have missed that, or perhaps I had no strong opinion at that time,
sorry about that.
The reasons I don't like the current behavior is that, on one side is not
much informative (the maps sitting in the current mapset are likely the
ones I want to access the names most often, for other maps I find it
intuitive to explicitly ask for), and on the other side if you happen to
have several maps in a couple of mapset you end up with an unreadable blob.
