[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Vandelay 2.2. question

Hi Mary,

I concur with both of these wishlist items. I hadn't tested either of these
issues when I was looking at Vandelay. Does anyone know if there is a reason
why the record source isn't updated during an overlay or is it an oversight?
Or maybe there is a way of doing it that I just haven't seen? To do so, I
expect the system would need to distinguish between records that are truly
being overlaid versus those that are just being merged.
