Possible Bug in Capture.

Possible Bug in Capture.

[lists]

I have just switched from maint to master and now get the following 
error capturing to a date tree:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid capture target 
specification: (file+datetree 
\"~/Documents/emacs/org/org_files/tasks/notes.org\" \"Notes.\")")
   signal(error ("Invalid capture target specification: (file+datetree 
\"~/Documents/emacs/org/org_files/tasks/notes.org\" \"Notes.\")"))
   error("Invalid capture target specification: %S" (file+datetree 
"~/Documents/emacs/org/org_files/tasks/notes.org" "Notes."))
   org-capture-set-target-location()
   org-capture(nil)
   call-interactively(org-capture nil nil)
   command-execute(org-capture)

#+end_src

This is my capture template:

("n" "Notes" entry (file+datetree
  "~/Documents/emacs/org/org_files/tasks/notes.org" "Notes.") "* %U %? 
:note:refile:" :prepend t)

This appears to have been introduced in:

     org-capture: Small refactoring

     * lisp/org-capture.el (org-capture-set-target-location): Refactor 
using
       pattern-matching for clarity.

Your template is invalid. Per `org-capture-templates', it should be

  (file+datetree "path/to/file")

IOW, there should be no "Notes."

Thank you! Things have obviously changed since the last time I set up
a capture template. Note to self: "Remember to RTFM first".
