v.category option=transfer does not copy multiple cat values

[ulf]

v.vector with option=transfer only copies one category value when a feature has multiple category values in the same layer. An example to explain what I mean:

echo "100|100|1" | v.in.ascii output=test input=-
fid=$(v.edit --quiet layer=1 map=test tool=select cat=1)
v.edit map=test layer=1 tool=catadd ids=${fid} cats=2

Now,

v.category option=print layer=1 input=test2

outputs "1/2", but

v.category option=print layer=2 input=test2

outputs "1". I would expect "1/2"...

One row disappeared from my example - to create map test2 i did the following:

echo "100|100|1" | v.in.ascii output=test input=-
fid=$(v.edit --quiet layer=1 map=test tool=select cat=1)
v.edit map=test layer=1 tool=catadd ids=${fid} cats=2
v.category option=transfer layer=1,2 input=test output=test2

Sorry about that, Ulf

Fixed in r64825,6 (trunk, relbr70).

Can this be closed ?

I added the commands as a Bash test case in r65485 but I actually don't understand what the output means here (why it is the same for layer=1 and layer=2?) and what option=transfer does. It would be good if somebody can review it and/or comment in the test.

Side note: The Bash script tests (test cases, test files) are really easy to create. Just look at r65485. They have a lot of problems and the solution is not scalable but it is better than no test!

The fix seems to work and the test looks ok to me, so closing.
