v.info support for level 1 (patch)

[neteler]

Attached the backport of support for level 1 by Markus Metz in v.info for 6.4.1. This is needed to make r.fillnulls potentially faster/less memory consuming.

is it not possible to have the level automatically detected instead of requiring to use an extra flag?

If you had level 2 topo, I don't see why you'd want to force opening at level 1 for v.info.

thanks, Hamish

Right. v.info no longer needs level 2, it tries level 2 first, if this is not successful, it tries level 1.

There is also no need to force level 1 just to speed up things, because v.info opens vectors with head only when trying level 2. At least this is the original behaviour in 6.4 and earlier, it was changed recently for 6.5 and 7, I changed it back to head only. There is no need to fully open a vector if level 2 is available.

In short, whatever happens, v.info is lightening fast and uses nearly no memory. The level 1 option can go.

Um, v.info is fast on cli but slow when used within wxGUI with a large vector, but that's a wxGUI thing, wxGUI collects some vector information first before it allows you to run a module.
