Comment (by rhaas):

 No references for the gauge evolution are given in the rewrite code (as of
 git hash 387e14a) where the relevant Kranc code still reads:
 {{{

     dotalpha   -> - (harmonicF alpha^harmonicN
                      IfA[A,
                          + trK - IfCCZ4[2 Theta, 0]
                          + alphaDriver (alpha - 1)]),
     dot[alpha] -> (+ dotalpha
                    + IfThen[advectLapse!=0, Upwind[beta[ua], alpha, la],
 0]
                    + Dissipation[alpha]),

 ...
     (* TODO: add not only advection terms, but full Lie derivatives! *)
     dot[beta[ua]] -> (+ dotbeta[ua]
                       + IfThen[advectShift!=0,
                                Upwind[beta[ub], beta[ua], lb],
                                0]
                       + Dissipation[beta[ua]]),

     dot[B[ua]] -> IfB[+ dotXt[ua]
                       + IfThen[fixAdvectionTerms!=0,
                                Upwind[beta[ub], Xt[ua], lb],
                                0]
                       - (betaDriverValue
                          (+ B[ua]
                           + IfThen[fixAdvectionTerms!=0 && advectShift!=0,
                                    Upwind[beta[ub], beta[ua], lb] /
                                    (shiftGammaCoeffValue

                                    0]))
                       + IfThen[fixAdvectionTerms==0 && advectShift!=0,
                                Upwind[beta[ub], B[ua], lb],
                                0]
                       + Dissipation[B[ua]],
                       0],

 }}}
 ie not reference is given at all.
