Alright, thanks Agustin for helping me get these patches to apply! Have gotten
through a bit of testing and I have some questions about the feature generally.

A note: 
I've attached the set of MARC records that I usually supplement my devbox with,
just so we are looking at the same things. Import them using the Stage MARC for
import tool. :)

my groups:
North: Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin
South: Springfield, Troy, Union

The other libraries are not in a group, they stand alone.

Test, opac:

Biblio: De Crasi Aristophea. Dissertatio - 3 items, Centerville, Fairview,
Midway
Patron: Nicole Schneider, Franklin
Pickup locations seen: Fairview, Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin
Seems OK? Except maybe Fairview, as it isn't in the patron's group.

Biblio: The Vixens, A novel. 1 item, Midway
Patron: Nicole Schneider, Franklin
Pickup locations seen: Midway
Hm. Why not the libraries in Nicole's group (Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin) 

Biblio: Gairm, 1 item, Centerville
Patron: Nicole Schneider, Franklin
Pickup locations seen: Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin
This seems right - pick up locations in the patron's group, but it is also the
item's group.

Biblio: De Crasi Aristophea. Dissertatio - 3 items, Centerville, Fairview,
Midway
Patron: Henry Acevedo, Midway
Pickup locations seen: Midway, Fairview, Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin
Logic (I think? can you confirm?):
Midway because it is the patron's home library. 
Fairview because there is an item from Fairview? 
Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin, in a hold group, however our patron is not in
this hold group? Is this right?

Biblio: The Vixens, A novel. 1 item, Midway
Patron: Henry Acevedo, Midway
Pickup locations seen: Midway
Thoughts: Midway is not in a group. It's like an individual branch is a group
unto itself? Is that correct behaviour?

Biblio: Gairm, 1 item, Centerville
Patron: Henry Acevedo, Midway
Pickup locations seen: Centerville, Fairfield, Franklin
Thoughts: The patron is not in this group, I don't understand why we are using
the item's group and not the patron's group?

The main question I have is, which is the location that defines which group the
reserve can be picked up in, the patron's branch (which is what I believe the
intent of the feature request was) or the item's homebranch?

If someone from VOKAL could comment on what they are expecting in the above
scenarios, I think that would be really helpful.

I'm going to stop here for now, as I think this question of which location is
canonical is quite core to this dev.

Liz
