In the CLI version of 5b11.2, the data entry field for location and mapset
are 14 characters long. If you have a descriptive name for either of those
directories that exceeds that length GRASS doesn't see it.
Can -- in some future version -- the field lengths be extended to, say, 32
chars? That would provide more leeway.

Next thing we know, you'll be wanting spaces in those names ;).

No, spaces _for_ the names. Underscores and hyphens will do everyone just
fine. And I've not done Windows for about 3.5 years now; never liked it
before then, either.

Hi all,
I agree that the entry field for location and mapset may be longer
than 14 characters. However, I don't know if it is a dangerous
change.
Generally we have to re-check *all* modules when migrating them
to 5.1 for string length. At time the buffer length differ from
module to module. We need some rules for it. I have started such
a list here (needed for PHASE1 - Milestone 3):
grass51/doc/migration_50_51.txt
Probably you need to check out grass51/:
cvs -z3 co grass51
Feel free to add more useful rules!
Markus
