Stefan,

I don’t know either, which is why I want better testing of the usage. I called it “capgains” because that’s what drives the lot scrubber. The existing test is libgnucash/engine/test/test-lots.c and as you can see it’s a very simple test that doesn’t really exercise the peer-split code at all.
