Documentation: Explain relationship between different ledger files

[jottr]

I've tried setting up buchhaltung with the mainLedger and imported keys set to distinctive ledger files.
After reading the documentation and the comments in config.yml, I still can't quite grasp the relationship between the two files.
I first understood it like so: imported stores all the transactions recently imported via the update command.
After they were matched via the match command, the newly matched transaction are written to the mainLedger-file.

This seems to not be the case, since only the imported-ledger is edited in place, i.e. the information is only stored in the imported ledger, and not transferred into mainLedger.

Yes, imported contains imported transactions (via update or import commands). At first they will be posted I to a TODO account which will then be changed to the account you entered through match.

Transactions stay in imported and form the basis of Bayesian learning based suggestions for match.
