[GNC] GnuCash and stock splits

[Adrien Monteleone]

I don't use GC for this yet, but indeed, I thought it had this already. 
Maybe I am misunderstanding GC's implementation of lots.

Each stock lot in a split would be split and the basis adjusted.  Fractional shares would be need to be held in the stock lot, and if fractional shares are sold, the sales may have to be proportionately distributed to the lots, so even inf the account holdings have no fractional shares, the lots may.  If taxability is a concern, sales need to be allocated to lots, usually oldest first but you may like short term gains?  It seems complicated, but people have been processing it on paper for a long time.
