Subject: [PATCH] Stop generating superfluous clock entries
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:21:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259288478-29642-1-git-send-email-bernt@norang.ca> (raw)

Avoid closing the currently clocking entry when clocking in the same task
again.  Leave the clock entry open until some other task is clocked in.

This allows us to clock in tasks with hooks that are called frequently without
generating lots of short sequential clock entries for the same task.

This patch is available at git://git.norang.ca/org-mode.git clock-in

I haven't extensively tested this but it seems to work for for me.  I currently 
have clock resolution disabled.
