screenshot of system preference editor

We have 2 system preferences that from their description in the system
preferences editor do exactly the same thing, but offer different options:

CircControl: 
  Use the checkout and fines rules of ...
    - the library the item is from
    - the library the patron is from
    - the library you are logged in at

HomeOrHoldingBranch: 
  Use the checkout and fines rules of ...
    - the ibrary the item is from
    - the library the item was checked out from


In the systempreferences table the description is different:

CircControl:
  Used by Circulation to determine which branch of an item to check 
  with independent branches on, and by search to determine which 
  branch to choose for availability

HomeOrHoldingBranch:
  Specify the agency that controls the circulation and fines policy

Both preferences are used a multiple times in the code. I am currently not sure
what the difference is. Bug 5159 also claims that CircControl is not only used
when independentbranches is turned on.

Can someone clarify and help updating the documentation?
