thanks

I am also interested... I fear that we need a new command
for this to edit the "head" file of a vector map.

Hi,

AFAIK, there is no raster/vector module which allows user to edit
metadata available via [r|v].info. BTW the metadata model in GRASS
should be updated according to the given standards in this field (ISO
19115 GRASS profile, etc).

I have created a wiki page for this purpose [1]

Hi,
I would like to code v.support soon. But as I see, v.support should be
able to work with whole metadata system (which is still in discussion
phase).

BTW, this could be nice task for Python...

brute force method: edit the text file $MAPSET/vector/$MAPNAME/hist

AFAIK you can put anything there. The raster version of the same
($MAPSET/hist/$MAPNAME) is limited to 80x24 chars however.
