--- Comment #1 from Aleisha Amohia <aleisha at catalyst.net.nz> ---
Ignore the description, I had thought about this wrong - would like to edit the
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable system preference so the options are:
- Don't allow
- Allow if items available at reserve patron's branch
- Allow always

The second option would mean that Patron A can only renew their item if there
are other items available at Patron B's (patron who has placed a reserve on
this biblio) branch.

The following scenarios should explain this a bit better:

NZ is one branch, AU is another branch.
There is a Biblio A with four items - Item NZa, Item NZb, Item AUa and Item
AUb.
There are two patrons - Patron NZa and Patron NZb.

Situation 1:
Patron NZa has Item NZa checked out. Item NZb is lost/damaged/checked out/not
available. Items AUa and AUb are both available.
Patron NZb has reserved Biblio A.
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is enabled.
Patron NZa should NOT be able to renew Item NZa because other NZ items are not
available, even though AU items are available.

Situation 2:
Patron NZa has Item NZa checked out. Item NZb is lost/damaged/checked out/not
available. Items AUa and AUb are both available.
Patron NZb has reserved Biblio A.
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is NOT enabled.
Patron NZa should NOT be able to renew Item NZa because other NZ items are not
available, even though AU items are available.

Situation 3:
Patron NZa has Item NZa checked out. Item NZb is available. Items AUa and AUb
are both available.
Patron NZb has reserved Biblio A.
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is enabled.
Patron NZa SHOULD be able to renew Item NZa.

Situation 4:
Patron NZa has Item NZa checked out. Item NZb is available. Items AUa and AUb
are both available.
Patron NZb has reserved Biblio A.
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is NOT enabled.
Patron NZa should NOT be able to renew Item NZa because
AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable is not enabled, even though NZb is available.
