[Koha] Holds/Transfer Limit Question

[Kyle Hall]

I wrote this feature, but it's been awhile so things may have changed.
As far as I am aware, this should be allowed by the system. However, I
don't recall writing in anything to limit a patron from selecting a
different branch for pickup. This may result in a situation where
Library A cannot transfer books to Library B, but the patron reserved
a Library A book for pickup at Library B. Again, it's been a long time
since I wrote the code, so I could be wrong.
