[GRASSLIST:4869] v.overlay and point data

Greetings!

So far v.overlay has worked well with line and area data.... but now I have
point data that I need to intersect with polygons... This is all in GRASS
5.7-cvs with points stored as GRASS 5.7 vectors

v.overlay does not appear to support point data as an input, and I have
verified empirically that it indeed does not work.

Is there any work on updating v.overlay in GRASS 5.7 to work with vector point
data?

any ideas?

thanks in advance

No but you can use v.distance max=0 to get area number for each point.
