24207	contrib gis change ogrinspect multi_geom default to True	Michael Diener	nobody	"I would recommend changing the /contrib/gis/util/ogrinspect.py   default to use ""Multi"" geometry because this will eliminate ERROR when trying to import a data set that could contain both linestring and multilinestring for example.

The reason is that gdal cannot always guess the correct geometry type for example in a Shapefile.
