Hello,

as far as I know, the builtin duplicate detection of beancount is not to 
prevent transactions imported twice (for that I built my own hash based 
duplicate checker), but to detect duplicates when paying from of my account to 
another one and import both transactions.

I have this existing transaction (all transactions stripped of meta data):

2019-04-01 * "Florian Lindner" "Sparen auf Tagesgeld"
  Assets:Giro       -200.00 EUR
  Assets:Tagesgeld             

Now I try to import the statements from the Tagesgeld account using

bean-extract -e main.beancount bc.import tagesgeld.csv

main.beancount is the main file, which includes the existing transactions. The 
import generates the transaction:

2019-04-01 * "Florian Lindner" "Sparen auf Tagesgeld"
  Assets:Tagesgeld  200.00 EUR
  Expenses:Unknown            

shouldn't that transaction be caught by the beancount internal duplicate 
checker and be commented out?

I tried to understand the SimilarityComparator, but wasn't quite sure if I got 
it correctly. Is there a description of the scheme?

Thanks,
Florian
