[PATCH] Allow datetree to find years with trailing whitespace.

[PATCH] Allow datetree to find years with trailing whitespace.

[Matt Lundin]

* lisp/org-datetree.el: Fix regexp to allow datetree to find headings
  with trailing whitespace.  This fixes a bug in which an existing
  datetree heading (e.g., "* 2012 ") would not be found by
  org-datetree-find-year-create if it had trailing whitespace.  This can
  cause problems, for instance, if one is using column view on the date
  tree, since editing subheadings with column view adds whitespace at
  the end of the top heading.
