From 2b90ea2cb0e5e976de7ddef0151ae83d8ac578e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Bug 17829: Move GetMember to Koha::Patron

GetMember returned a patron given a borrowernumber, cardnumber or
userid.
All of these 3 attributes are defined as a unique key at the DB level
and so we can use Koha::Patrons->find to replace this subroutine.
Additionaly GetMember set category_type and description.
