Hello Rikard,

My suggestion is that this should be clarified a bit. Is no-split and
no-scrape the same thing?
Both options are equivalent in the sense that both prevent the
corresponding phase to be run.
Splitting proved to be slow and produced a lot of head movement, so in
1.19 it was replaced with a linear "scraping" phase. --no-scrape
replaced --no-split.
In the ChangeLog you can find these two entries:
* The splitting phase has been replaced by a scraping phase.
* Changed long name of option '-n' to '--no-scrape'.
BTW, I have just released 1.20.
Best regards,
Antonio.
