Wouldn't the "UUID" be different if the lines were different? I'd
imagine that the line in the CSV from a credit card company wouldn't
be identical to the same transaction as provided by a bank. Or do you
need to manually copy the UUID into both files?
As an aside, if this is how UUID's are used in ledger, it's going to
confuse people that are used to UUID's being unique, randomly
generated, and meaningless (ala those generated by "uuidgen" or
similar), rather than meaningful matchable hashes of content. Maybe
calling them a "hash" or even better using the hash method as the name
("md5", "sha1", etc.) would help disambiguate the situation.
