Description
This is a data loss issue, so high priority.
----------------------------
When two (duplicate) contacts have the same type of membership and you merge the contacts - the membership records are also 'merged'. The contribution record associated with the 'deleted' membership is deleted. This is wrong - we should never delete a contribution record during merge UNLESS the user has explicitly unchecked the 'merge contributions' checkbox in the merge form.
To recreate:
Record 203 had (amongst other things) contributions and an expired membership of org A
Record 204 had (amongst other things) contributions and a current membership of org A
I merged record 204 into record 203, checked 'Memberships' and 'Contributions' to be merged, did NOT check 'add new'.
Results:
Record 203 has the current membership with it's start / end date (moved from record 204). This seems fine.
Record 203 has one contribution (the one moved over from record 204 - also fine)
The contribution which was linked to 203's membership signup has been deleted - THIS IS A BUG!!!
