Mnemosyne currently has a configuration option '(Re)learn sister cards on 
the same day'. However, it's very misleading in the sense that as soon as 
you are running out of new cards to study, Mnemosyne will bring these 
sister cards into the queue to prevent it from running empty. In RC1, I've 
added a warning message to explain that this is happening, but it's proving 
difficult to prevent it from triggering spuriously.

So now I'm currently leaning towards removing that configuration option 
altogether and taking the behaviour when this box was unchecked. This means 
that when learning new cards, Mnemosyne will avoid showing you sister 
cards, unless you are running out of new cards. I'm not sure that 
preventing you from trying to learn the production card when you have 
memorised the recognition card is all that important, and people could get 
confused if they see the 'not memorised' counter non-zero, but still get no 
new cards to study. Sure, you could give a warning message in that case, or 
make the behaviour configurable, but I feel that then we're just replacing 
one combination of a confusing, difficult to understand setting and warning 
message with a different combination of confusing, difficult to understand 
setting and warning message..

Thoughts?
