[PATCH v2] Fix agenda display for late scheduled and deadline tasks

[Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca>]

* lisp/org.el (org-time-string-to-absolute):

  Ignore the cyclic repeater when displaying items on today's agenda
  date.  If you have a weekly task and miss the date the agenda view
  will show more than a week late now instead of resetting on the
  cyclic repeating date.  This makes it much more obvious when you
  missed a repeating task after the repeater.

Here's a new version of this patch which I think addresses Matt's issue and it's simpler 
which is always a bonus.

The patch is available at git://git.norang.ca/org-mode.git fix-agenda-late-tasks
