Actually, `--depth 2` should be exactly what you need, according to the --help
description:
Limit the depth of displayed accounts in balance and register reports. Any
accounts of greater depth are folded into their parent at the specified
level. For example with --depth 2 the account
Expenses:Entertainment:Dining would be folded into Expenses:Entertainment
for display. Importantly, this is a display predicate, which means it only
affects display, not the total calculations.
I'm rather surprised if it is truncating the totals as you describe. Can you
reproduce the issue in a small test case?
