there’s not actually anywhere in the metadata to record moves in the commit format so no command can do anything about it if the renamed file isn’t similar enough for rename detection :(

at least it doesn’t ask last after filling the rest of the information in, or, ends with a “ok thanks :) we’ll *call* you! :)”

Bakong Tourists fee structure appears to be, for Australian issued debit Mastercard anyway, 8k riel flat up until around 250k, then gradually increasing.

Visa seems to have minimum 50k riel transaction and a ~USD2 flat fee.

Bakong Tourists also seems to issue an authorisation from the preview screen - in trying several amounts to work out the Mastercard fee structure… my bank blocked my card and the preview screen started returning an error!

Visa seemingly not touching the bank as account with 0 balance gives no error

Actually is it a monorail if it has two sets of parallel rubber wheels?

Perhaps some Netbank would just say “sorry, it’s not worth the effort to resolve this”.

This perfectly rational (in most cases) business decision would violate the expectation most consumers have of service provider universality.

Yeah they’re not all so bad at *everything*. It’s more they can put less effort into resolving all the exception flows by just falling back on branches.
