What's up with requiring "--noautoload"? What does "-r ." do? and the transform invocation starts with the seemingly magical "Json.lns" (where does it come from?) and appears to refer to a file at the root of the filesystem hierarchy?
I'd probably use augtool more often myself, but its UI is seriously inscrutable.

Answers: by default, augtool loads all the lenses and scans the entire default filesystem (typically /etc); `--noautoload` prevents that. The -r is `--root`; specify the root as the current directory rather than /
