Hi,
I don't know if this is a local problem with my setup, but for some time now, MAPSET, LOCATION_NAME, and GISDBASE are not defined anymore in a running GRASS session. Just recompiled with fresh svn checkout, and the problem persists.
This means that I can't do things like
database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/
I don't see any relevant changes in lib/init/init.sh which could explain this, but before I dig deeper to find out what's going on I would like to hear whether anyone else has this problem.

This was changed years ago (in 5.x, AFAICT; there doesn't appear to be
any way to obtain the revision history for 5.x now that CVS is gone).
The reason is that these settings can change during the life of a
GRASS session (e.g. g.mapset), but there's no way that a module can
can change the environment of the session shell (this is why we have
$GISRC rather than using environment variables).
You need to get the values from g.gisenv, e.g.:
GISDBASE=`g.gisenv GISDBASE`
LOCATION_NAME=`g.gisenv LOCATION_NAME`
MAPSET=`g.gisenv MAPSET`
LOCATION="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET"

Strange, I could have sworn that I have successfully done things like:
v.db.connect -o mylakes table=mylakes2 database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/
but I guess it must have been in my dreams...

Actually it does work, just have to use single-quotes, as clearly stated in TFM:
"Using variable as DBF directory definition, single quotes must be used:"
Sorry for the noise...

You can: example:
cd lib/gis/
svn log key_value1.c

If you want a ChangeLog file, just get 'svn2cl', see
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToSVN
Also: The CVS should still work (and the old ChangeLog files are available).

It only goes back to 2002 for lib/init/init.sh. In 5.x, that file was
at src/general/init/init.sh.
Also, AFAICT you can't distinguish 5.x history from 6.x. There are SVN
branches for the 5.x CVS release branches, but not for the trunk.
If you want a ChangeLog file, just get 'svn2cl', see
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToSVN

There is no CVS server on cvs.intevation.de:2402 any more. Is
anonymous (pserver) CVS still functional?
