However, I think >> there is a mistake with org-toggle-timestamp-type. With regard to git: I have been playing with git and its a bit of a muddle as there are so many options and alternatives which cover similar command subsets. Having just discovered dvc the waters are even muddier. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Git But if you use emacs 23 then most basic revision control commands are there are described in the version control section of the emacs manual. My personal favorite is here as it includes a good tutorial but, for some reason, refuses to status my .emacs.d. But it works well with org-mode project which you can clone. Note the use of the graphical tool gitk too. It is also the only one which use ediff as a default and the only one which provides graphical status bar indicators of your file's git status. http://tsgates.cafe24.com/git/git-emacs.html The most promising one with regard to staging and branching is magit: http://github.com/technomancy/magit/tree/master And the author is generally online in the #emacs irc channel. regards richard. >> >> Currently, the message always returns "Timestamp is now active" >> regardless of whether it is or not.

Yes, there is a problem with this regexp, and I not not know myself how to fix it. Negated character classes do not seem to work as advertised if there is a bracket inside.
