FR: org-timestamp-up/down jumping configurable number of minutes

[Adam Spiers]

I never need to insert timestamps with a granularity of smaller than 5
minutes, and hardly ever smaller than 15 minutes.  So it would be
really nice if when over the minute portion of a timestamp,
org-shiftup/down increased/decreased the minute value in multiples of
5, 15, or whatever other value the user wants to configure.  So for
example, that way I could postpone the start/end of an appointment by
15 minutes with a single key chord.

For backwards compatability, the granularity could still default to 1
if that's the behaviour the majority of people prefer.

This is a good idea.  However, `C-u 15 S-up' also does hel a bit.

Still, we should have this option.

In the git repo right now, take a look at the variable
org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes.

Thank you.  However I am not sure how do I set this.  From customize:

These are two values, the first applies when first creating a time stamp.
The second applies when changing it with the commands `S-up' and `S-down'.
When changing the time stamp, this means that it will change in steps
of N minues, as given by the second value.

But the variable allows only one value.  Can you please show an example?

Indeed, if you have prior customization on this variable, this is not  
obvious.

I you pull again, I have just made it easy, just pull again, load the
new org.el in a new emace and try to customize the variable.

1. I removed all traces of the variable from .emacs
2. Saved .emacs and closed Emacs
3. Set the variable using customize
4. Reloaded .emacs and tested
5. I get `Symbol's value as variable is void:
org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes-when-changing'

What could I be doing wrong?  How can I provide more debug information?

This should be `org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes'.  

I've fixed this in the git repo.
