For documentation purposes, here's a strange thing I see now (maybe the
same thing others are seeing). You can use the remote-ls command to list
"everything," however, when you isolate GnuCash, you might see something
different.

Note the apparent version and commit of the remote-ls differs from the
remote-info


$ flatpak remote-ls flathub | grep gnucash
GnuCash org.gnucash.GnuCash 4.13+ (Flathub 4.13) stable

$ flatpak remote-ls --columns=all flathub | grep gnucash
GnuCash Manage your finances, accounts, and investments org.gnucash.GnuCash
4.13+ (Flathub 4.13) stable flathub app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable

I have not yet run the flatpak update -- here's what it looks like when I
run it "verbosely." Note I still do not know if I'll be getting GnuCash
4.13 or 5.0 -- the commits don't seem to relate to what I can see...
