I did find a post on Reddit that describes a convenient way to create org files for projects anywhere in the directory tree in a shared global location: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/2qwh8q/org_mode_one_massive_file_or_tons_of_small_ones/cnacdpl This has the benefit of keeping all my planning (.org) files in one repo, but the disadvantage of separating the planning files from the project they relate to. Something your approach deals with nicely. I'll try that out. Best, Tyler -- http://plantarum.ca
