Bug: org-mode does not properly reenter tasks with the REPEAT timestamp when marked as 'DONE'

Bug: org-mode does not properly reenter tasks with the REPEAT timestamp when marked as 'DONE'

[Robert Miesen]

I apologize in advance if this is not where bugs are supposed to be sent, but i couldn't 
find a better place to file a bug report, so...




==========BEGIN BUG REPORT==========
I attempted to mark a task with the REPEAT timestamp as 'DONE' using 'C-c C-t'
and instead of the schedule timestamp for the task being moved according to the
value within REPEAT() (ex.--- REPEAT(+1w)), it simply is marked as 'DONE' like
a plain-old-task.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter "TODO [#B] Some task REPEAT(+1d)
SCHEDULED: <2007-10-01 Mon>" as a task within an agenda tree
2. Mark it as done using 'C-c C-t'

Actual Results:  
Item is marked as done instead of prompting user for a closing note (if the
options for org-mode are set to do so) and marking the task as 'TODO' again.

Expected Results:  
User should have been prompted for a closing note (if the options for org-mode
are set to do so) and the item should have been marked as 'TODO', with the
'SCHEDULED' timestamp being updated according to the value found in the REPEAT
timestamp.

Thanks for the nice and complete report!

The REPEAT(...) cookie is an obsolete way of doing repetitive tasks.
